In the shadow of the Trojan War, the royal house of Mycenae is rotting from the inside.

Fiercely loyal to her absent father, King Agamemnon, Princess Electra uncovers a treasonous secret: her mother, Queen Clytemnestra, is embroiled in a passionate and dangerous affair with the kingdom's ruthless guardian. Desperate to protect her father's honour, Electra risks everything to send a desperate warning before he sets foot on home soil.

But her efforts are in vain. When Agamemnon finally returns triumphant from Troy, he walks blindly into a trap. With her father brutally murdered and the throne usurped, Electra finds herself trapped in a kingdom ruled by fear, spies and the very people who destroyed her family. Isolated but unbowed, she refuses to let her father's killers go unpunished.

Forced to navigate a treacherous court of shifting loyalties, Electra must ignite the flames of rebellion. She turns to her hesitant brother, Orestes, goading him to embrace a terrifying destiny: a bloody coup to avenge their beloved father. But in a royal house cursed by the gods, the price of true justice is steeped in blood, and seeking vengeance might destroy them all.
