The stunning sequel to Christian Cameron's epic TYRANT.
Kineas, the Athenian cavalry commander, has come a long way since being
dismissed from the army of Alexander and vengefully exiled by his own
city. Together, his mercenary force and their Scythian allies have
defeated a mighty Macedonian army at the Ford of the River God, and his
adopted city of Olbia is now free once more. But his destiny will not
allow him to enjoy the fruits of victory for long. Far to the east, at
the farthest edge of the Sea of Grass, Alexander is threatening to crush
the Scythian hordes once and for all.
The Lady Srayanka of the Cruel Hands, the Scythian warrior-princess who
spurned a king's love to be at Kineas's side, is pledged to take her
tribe east to help stop 'the monster' - and Kineas knows he has no
choice but to follow, even if it means embracing the violent death in
battle that he has seen prefigured in countless dreams.
But long before he can confront the might of Alexander's army alongside
his beloved Srayanka, he must undertake an epic journey of breathtaking
daring...
