The ragged survivors of war limp home on foot, while funeral pyres across Macedon sizzle with the bodies of great warriors. Meanwhile, the dead king's generals - cunning Seleukos, one-eyed Antigonos, jealous Kassandros - are scattered across different continents from Athens to the Nile, each hungry for power over the whole kingdom. Alliances and betrayals are rife, and if one man gains an advantage, the others will not hesitate to plot his downfall. Mobilising their troops, the warlords cross deserts and seas, all marching in a single direction: towards the legendary city of Babylon. The key to controlling the East, behind its golden gates lie untold treasures. But it will take a hero to claim it - or maybe even the son of a god.Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
