Mighty Memnon rules over nearly all the known world, who defeats his enemies in battle with the help of a beautiful sorceress.

The assassins are betrayed by the son of one of the tribal leaders, and Mathayus finds himself unable to kill Cassandra. Mathayus abducts the sorceress, who explains that Memnon was holding her against her will.
