'This may be the greatest tale of the ancient world. Hugely enjoyable' CONN IGGULDEN
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE VESPASIAN SERIES
The sixth instalment in the huge, bloody and brutal series from Robert Fabbri, set after the death of Alexander the Great. Who will win the fight to control the largest empire the world has ever seen or will it split into rival kingdoms?
Seleukos has defeated Antigonos One-eyed in the east, but has let him live, thus buying five years to secure his eastern satrapies. As Antigonos limps back west the War of Alexander's Successors rages on: Athens, Cyprus, Egypt and Rhodes all become targets for his and his son Demetrios' fury and ambition.
In her thirst for revenge on Antigonos for the execution of her husband Eumenes, Artonis must bring a final alliance together to crush him from all directions. To do so she must first get the consent of Lysimachos in the north, before throwing herself at the mercy of Kassandros in the west. If she survives this, she must then travel to the eastern extreme of Alexander's empire to persuade the mighty Seleukos to bring his army back once he has secured his border with a peace deal with the Indian king Chandragupta.
Armed only with a letter from Thais - the mistress of Ptolemy who holds Egypt in the south - urging the wives of these powerful generals to be pragmatic and not to let personal feelings get in the way of business, Artonis sets about her mission.
Can she convince Nicaea, Thessalonike and Apama to persuade their husbands to put rivalries aside and act in unison to come together to crush the Cyclops on the plains of Anatolia near a small town named Ipsos?
Will one final alliance for one last battle be strong enough to ensure that her husband gets his revenge from Beyond the Grave?
Genre: Historical
