Akcijska pustolovščina opisuje dogodke, ki so se zgodili pred dogodki iz filma Kralj škorpijonov. Potem ko je videl umreti lastnega očeta, kralja Akkada, mladi Mathayus priseže, da bo postal najmogočnejši bojevnik. Ko odraste in zaključi z napornim urjenjem, izve, da je morilec njegovega očeta, Sargon, postal novi kralj Akkada. Mathayus je odločen, da bo maščeval očetovo smrt, toda pot do maščevanja ni lahka, saj se Sargon pri svojih spletkah poslužuje črne magije. Sčasoma Mathayus odraste v mogočnega vojščaka, pred katerim trepeta ves starodavni svet.
In Ancient Akkad, Mathayus grows up as the proud son of Ashur, a captain in the world-renowned military corps of Black Scorpions, first-rate bodyguards, most of which are sent to courts wide away. By objecting to young Mathayus joining the corps, Ashur incurs the undying enmity of ruthless generalissimo Sargon, gets killed and the orphaned knave is shipped off to a desolate training camp for six years by king Hammurabi's clemency. When he returns as a Black Scorpio, Sargon has bloodily seized the throne and demands cruel proof of blind loyalty. Mathayus refuses, becoming a chased hero. With youth friends, the resourceful Greek Pollux and various mercenary warriors, he embarks on a daring quest to obtain a legendary sword from Sargon's magical ally, the war-goddess Astarte.
