A youthful, adventure-driven fantasy about a young hero learning his limits while helping a friend, grounded in Greek mythology and set within a warrior academy.

At an academy for mythological warriors, 17-year-old Hercules meets Jason, the next in line to rule Corinth. When Jason discovers that his father is ill, Hercules decides to seek out the Golden Fleece that could cure him. But limitations to his powers, as well as his half-brother Ares, stand in his way.
