Antara

Somewhere between legend, myth, and history, sits Antara ibn Shaddad.

In the century before Islam, in the harshest environment in the known world, this greatest of Arabian warriors struggles to ascend from slavery to the heights of his society, blasting through prejudice with the quickness of his sword, the incandescence of his temper, and the transcendence of his verse. 

But there is a cost for everything.
