Half man, half god, and all teen... a new hero bursts forth in an epic adventure!

* * *

Young Hercules has never met his father, Zeus, king of the gods, and he longs to be worthy of him. But while Hercules' strength is great, he doesn't possess the skills of a warrior hero. He must learn these wt the academy of the wise centaur Cheiron, along with his childhood friend Iolaus and Jason, crown prince of Corinth.

But Hercules already has a deadly enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy him - his half-brother Ares, god of war. When the cadets set off on a desperate quest to save Jason's kingdom, they must conquer a giant and battle a siren - not knowing that they've stepped into a trap carefully set by a vengeful god determined to destroy the son of Zeus.
