DownloadPrince Meleager and his band of warriors crept towards the den
of the terrifying beast they sought to slay.
But unbeknownst to the prince and his followers,
a dark secret loomed over his life...
The night of Meleager’s birth, his mother Althaea, the Queen of Calydon,
was visited by three shadowy goddesses, known as the Fates.
Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos rarely appeared to mortals
but wielded untold power over their lives.
