Fortunately, two young slaves survive, but they are separated. One of them is reared as a servant in the palace, while the other grows into a valiant warrior seeking vengeance. Years pass and the former slave (who has vowed to assassinate the monarch) returns to the palace. He does, however, become entangled in the mystery surrounding a series of killings.
