In 336 B.C., Egypt lies under the yoke of Persia. But a spirit of fire
has risen to blaze across the world. His name is Alexander, and he is
the destined conqueror of the Persian Empire--and the king foretold of
Egypt. Meriamon, daughter of the last Pharaoh, journeys out of the Two
Lands to find him and bring him home. From the battlefield of Issus to
the siege of Tyre, from the founding of Alexandria to the divine
revelations of Siwah, Meriamon both leads and follows her divine charge,
who becomes her friend and her chosen king.
