Overview

The Hatti Kingdom has lost its power and can no longer protect the communities under its rule. The troops of the Scythian king raid the villages constantly and kidnap the women. One night the troops raid the valley of the old women and kidnap young Tigira whose mother they have killed. That same night Tigira meets the female warriors who call themselves Galops and her whole life changes. Tigira joins the Galops with the tiger cubs and creates the legend of the Amazons in the years of war to follow; she will fight against cruel kings and injustices…
