The first book in a huge, bloody and brutal new series from Robert
Fabbri, set after the death of Alexander the Great. Babylon, 323 BC:
Alexander the Great is dead, leaving behind him the largest, and most
fearsome, empire the world has ever seen. As his final breaths fade in a
room of seven bodyguards, Alexander refuses to name a successor. But
without a natural heir, who will take the reins? As the news of the
king's sudden and unexpected death ripples across the land, leaving all
in disbelief, the ruthless battle for the throne begins. What follows is
a devious, tangled web of scheming and plotting, with alliances quickly
made and easily broken, each rival with their own agenda. But who will
emerge victorious: the half-chosen; the one-eyed; the wildcat; the
general; the bastard; the regent? In the end, only one man, or indeed
woman, will be left standing.
