QUEEN OF PERSIA

Based on Jill Eileen Smith's bestselling historical novel, QUEEN OF PERSIA follows a brave peasant girl, Esther, who is enslaved by Persian King Xerxes, and forced to be a part of his harem. There, as she works to gain the trust and respect of the other women in the palace, she fights to become their protector and advocate. Now rising to wield great power as the King's favorite concubine, she discovers a deadly coup among his most trusted advisors. On the heels of his army's costly victory over the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae (as seen in Zack Snyder's 300), Esther must decide whether to expose and foil the plot, or become complicit in the downfall of an empire.
