Storyline: In Ancient
Akkad, Mathayus grows up as the proud son of Ashur, a captain in the
world-renowned military corps of Black Scorpions, first-rate bodyguards,
most of which are sent to courts wide away. By objecting to young
Mathayus joining the corps, Ashur incurs the undying enmity of ruthless
generalissimo Sargon, gets killed and the orphaned knave is shipped off
to a
desolate training camp for six years by king Hammurabi’s clemency.
When he returns as a Black Scorpio, Sargon has bloodily seized the
throne and demands cruel proof of blind loyalty. Mathayus refuses,
becoming a chased hero. With youth friends, the resourceful Greek Pollux
and various mercenary warriors, he embarks on a daring quest to obtain a
legendary sword from Sargon’s magical ally, the war-goddess Astarte.
