In Ancient Greece, the Gods reign with barbaric cruelty.

Scorned by their rulers, mortals starve and die, and some - The Missing - are stolen from their loved ones, vanishing forever.

But a prophecy foretells of hope. When Danae, a fisherman''s daughter, starts exhibiting strange powers, a treacherous destiny begins to unfold before her.

Her search for answers sets her on a collision course battling monsters and Gods alike, and joining forces with the mighty Hercules. Little does she know the truth may be more terrifying than she could have ever imagined...

Soon, she will learn that she was born to face the challenge. To hunt the Gods. To end their tyranny.

To set the mortals free.

  In Ancient Greece, the Twelve Gods demand the ultimate tribute - food, treasure, even human sacrifice.

  There are some mortals who cling to a desperate prophecy - telling of one to come who'll set them free. But few truly believe it.

  Until Danae, a fisherman's daughter, eats a mysterious golden apple. And suddenly, her life unravels and a strange and dangerous path unfolds before her.

  Chased from her home, she neither understands nor fully controls her future. One which will find Danae walking the winding roads of heroes. There, she encounters and befriends the mighty demi-god, Heracles. Together, they will seek out monsters to battle.

  But Danae's destiny is not to fight beasts.

  She will hunt the Gods.

  She will drag them screaming from Olympus . . .
