The Fire of Ares describes the journey of young Lysander, grandson of one of the most powerful men in Sparta, who carries the blood of a noble Spartan, and son of a Helot slave. As Lysander treats for his ill mother, the Fire of Ares, his only token from his deceased father, is stolen. As he searches for it, his grandfather finds him, and arranges him to enter Spartan training, in hope of representing him in the up coming festival. Lysander is bullied because of his Helot heritage, but he sucked it up and pushed on. When the festivals arrive, he is chosen in the team, and eventually wins it... But he doesnt know that a rebellion is coming his way, what will he do? Will he protect his Helot friends, or let his Spartan instinct take control?
