Arius is the Prince of Egypt, the future Pharaoh. Everyone knows how great of a young man he is and he is respected by all of Egypt. However, he hates his father and because of this, his trip to becoming the next Pharaoh becomes a hundred times more difficult. Chione is a slave that works at the Pharaoh's palace. She has nothing, except for a loving grandfather who she was sadly separated from. But there is only one thing she wants, and that is to get back at the Pharaoh for killing her family. It doesn't take too long for these two people's lives to come together, and when they do, it doesn't take them too long to realize that they are breaking Egyptian laws and putting both their lives at risk. It is a forbidden love that could never last... For he is the Prince and she is merely his Slave.
