      Once upon a time there was a Persian prince. The prince had many brothers, for his father had married over a thousand wives, but Prince Naser alone stood to inherit the kingdom.

      As the prince ascends to the throne we lurk in his shadow to overhear the whispered intrigues and plotting of bloody battles. The weight of the nation bears heavily on Shah Naser''s shoulders. Will this young king triumph or will he succumb to the forces that threaten to engulf him?

      Enter the court of the King of Persia . . .
