Description
As he lies dying in Babylon, Alexander the Great recounts the life that carried him from the court of Philip of Macedon to the far reaches of Persia, Afghanistan, and India. In his own voice, he reflects on the battles, ambitions, loyalties, and moral choices that shaped one of history’s most formidable conquerors. Blending historical authenticity with vivid first-person storytelling, the novel explores military glory, leadership, honor, friendship, and the human cost of empire. It offers an intimate portrait of a warrior-king determined to win not only his enemies’ submission, but their respect.
