When the Fire, the mighty sword of Hephaestus, falls into the hands of thugs determined to use its power against the innocent, Hercules is tasked by the gods to find and return the fearsome weapon to its owner.

With time running short, Hercules must face an encampment of armed bandits ready to put his super-human strength to the test . . . but will he be able to return the Fire before Hephaestus’ anger erupts?

Based on the hit television series created by Christian Williams, By the Sword continues the legendary journeys of Hercules—a hero who possesses a strength the world has never seen . . . a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart.
