Synopsis:

The legendary Hercules possesses a strength the world has never seen . . . a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart.

The First Casualty

Hercules is drawn into the conflict between two neighboring towns only to discover that the source of the conflict appears to be Hercules himself.

As he struggles to undo the damage done by an imposter acting under the influence of powerful sources, Hercules finds allies in the most unlikely places. But will this be enough to avert an all-out war?

Hercules and the Geek of Greece

When Queen Xumonia’s crown is stolen by the Amazons, she calls on Hercules to recover it from the formidable warriors—who just happen to be led by Xumonia’s sister.

Saddled with the queen’s nephew, the hapless Geekus, Hercules has only until the next full moon—four days—to travel to the fortress Castletop and retrieve the crown. But with the Amazons ready and waiting for him, will Hercules’ legendary strength be enough?
