Summary
In a world at war, a brother and sister seek revenge...Another drama-drenched story in a truly epic historical series.
Description
They were born in the middle of a battle, into a world at war. And from their first moments of life, twins Satyrus and Melitta were fighting for survival. Their father, a Greek mercenary, was cut down not long after they had taken their first breaths; their Scythian mother was cruelly murdered when they were still children.
But Satyrus and Melitta are children no more. They have learned how to fight, how to love, how to plot and how to kill. Now it is time to leave their adopted home, the city of Alexandria and the protection of Alexander the Great's former general, Ptolemy - and seek revenge.Now it is time to go to war...Critic Reviews
“"Gives readers everything they could hope for in a work of historical fiction set in the time of Alexander's successors. . . . Fans of the series, and of the slings and arrows of ancient warfare, won't simply find themselves eagerly hovering above the ancient Euxine watching the action unfold. They'll be over the moon."”
