In the aftermath of Alexander the Great’s campaign in India, the Greek satraps left behind seek to expand their influence and claim new territories. Among them is Peithon, the ambitious satrap of Western India, who sets his sights on the peaceful Deccan kingdom. When the king dies unexpectedly, the fate of the realm hangs in the balance as a newborn prince becomes the center of a deadly struggle for power.

As treacherous ministers conspire with foreign powers and enemies gather at the kingdom’s borders, he must fight to protect the young prince and preserve the future of his homeland.

There, long-buried secrets come to light—revelations that could reshape his understanding of his past and determine the destiny of the kingdom itself.
