This historical fantasy of Alexander the Great as a teen warrior is "filled with reawakening magic, sex and lots of violence..." ( Kirkus Reviews ).

After the triumph of winning his first battle, Prince Alexander has little time to relish his success. He can no longer trust his best friend Hephaestion, and even Queen Olympias, his own mother, is suspected of the darkest of deeds. Then Alexander discovers that a traitor lurks within his own court-someone who holds the prince's confidence.

Having fallen out of favor with Alexander, Hephaestion travels with Katerina to Egypt to secure a military alliance-all the while concealing a devastating prophecy he can share with no one-not even Katerina, the woman he is falling in love with.

Losing his first love Katerina only fuels Jacob's choice to join forces against Prince Alexander. And with the prince's sister Cynane as his prisoner, he believes he holds the key to Macedon's destruction.

Believed dead or missing, Persian Princess Zofia has been freed from duty to marry Prince Alexander, only to find herself abducted by a mysterious, handsome captor with secrets darker than her own.
