    02 Ship Of The Dead
    Gregor (Rufus Wright), Master of the Palace Guard, is charged by Sultan Al-Ghuri (Raad Rawi) with the task of rooting out the spies within.
    But there is another threat making its way by sea. As slave merchant Ibn (Nabil Elouahabi) awaits for his family to arrive in Tumanbay, sickness has broken out on the ship carrying them.

    03 Coming Of Age
    Adrift at sea in a small boat and captive to an escaped slave (Akin Gazi), fourteen year old daughter (Olivia Popica) of slave merchant Ibn (Nabil Elouahabi) depends on her slave captor for her survival. Madu (Danny Ashok), the spoilt nephew of the Sultan, also has to grow up quickly as he swaps palace life for hard graft in the army.

    04 Hidden Knowledge
    As Shajar, the sultan's chief wife (Sarah Beck Mather), plots her son Madu's (Danny Ashok) succession to the throne, Gregor, master of the palace guard, is determined to discover what it is she has taken from the aged Hafiz and is having repaired in the workshop of a pair of artisans in the city. Marching with the army out to the provinces, Madu's slave find solace with an unlikely companion.

    05 Strangle Hold
    Arriving in the provinces to gather the armies to fight rebel "queen" Maya, General Qulan (Christopher Fulford) finds the provincial governors less than enthusiastic about his arrival. In Tumanbay, Gregor is under pressure to find the spies but his investigations keep leading him back to Shajar the sultan's chief wife (Sarah Beck Mather) and a reliquary she has secreted away.

    06 In The Beginning
    With Tumanbay in chaos after the murder of a highly placed individual, Heaven and her slave companion find themselves prisoners of a nomadic tribe in the desert. Having failed in his duty of keeping the palace safe, Gregor attempts to unlock the secret of the missing reliquary and find out why it is worth killing for.

    07 A Tale Of Two Cities
    While the sultan dreams of victory against rebellious provincial leader Maya, Gregor is in pursuit of missing slave-girl Sarah (Nina Yndis) and must venture into the catacombs beneath the city, haven to those who wish to escape the brutality of the city above.

Convinced of victory by the words of the prophet child, the Sultan (Raad Rawi) is now ready to march out with his armies and destroy rebellious provincial leader Maya.
