Synopsis

It's 320, and King Andragoras III of Pars is locked in a brutal war with the neighboring empire of Lusitania. His son Arslan, the young prince, is eager to prove himself in battle for the first time—despite being quite different from his father in temperament. But everything falls apart when a trusted official betrays the king. The Parsian forces are routed, the capital city of Ecbatana is under siege, and Arslan barely escapes with his life. Fortunately, the seasoned general Daryun sticks with him, and together they hit the road in search of allies strong enough to help reclaim the kingdom. The problem is, Arslan's enemies go well beyond the Lusitanians occupying Pars. Other kingdoms are circling, ready to seize Ecbatana for themselves. And then there's the mysterious silver-masked figure who orchestrated Lusitania's victory in the first place. This enigmatic mastermind isn't just a military threat—he's sitting on a secret that could undermine Arslan's entire claim to the throne. Badly outnumbered and outmaneuvered, Arslan needs to dig deep, gather trustworthy allies, and survive long enough to become the king Pars actually needs.
