Every warrior who faced the nine-headed sea monster died. Locke's War King killed the beast with one arrow. Betrayed by his elder brother—poisoned and ambushed at sea 10 years ago, he fell with the traitor and was counted dead. Now a ragged beggar returns. To save his son from the usurper's execution blade in the arena, he draws the divine bow—the only bow in the world a king can pull.
