Colossus

What if Alexander the Great had not died young?

Babylon, 323 BC: As captain of the elephants, Gajendra is both ambitious and deeply loyal to Alexander, the great soldier who plucked him from obscurity. He begins a meteoric rise through the ranks of the Macedonian army, protected by his fiercely devoted elephant, Colossus.

Alexander sets his sights on Carthage. Mara's father is the general tasked with defending the city from the advancing army. But when Mara herself is captured and taken prisoner, it triggers an unthinkable series of events that no one could have foreseen.

Just as Gajendra has everything he has ever dreamed of within his grasp, he realises nothing is as it seems. And the uncanny bond he has formed with Colossus may even threaten the life of the world's greatest general.

An alternative history set against the ancient worlds of Babylon, Carthage and Sicily.

A young captain of elephants who seeks heroism at all costs, and discovers the face of pure evil staring back through the flames of vanquished citadels. Part romance, part orgy of violence, the author skillfully brings to life a vibrant and exotic historical period. I can't wait for the sequel." - Noble Smith
