After being resurrected, she doesn't know who she was or what she did, and Ares, along with another god of war, pursues her to seize the Chakram of Light. Xena discovers she is pregnant, and Alti's spirit threatens her baby's soul in the spirit world. Gabrielle, a young farm girl traveling for the first time, brings balance to her temperament. Together they travel through walled villages and roads plagued by warlords, outlaw gangs, and gods determined to keep Xena's child from growing up. Every stop confronts Xena with her past and her desire to redeem herself.
