In Babylon 323 BC the world is being thrown into turmo, Alexander is on his deathbed so there is gossip of a new leader.
With the largest empire in the world to rule Alexander NEEDS a someone to take over the reins after he has gone but he refuses to name a successor, he has no natural heir so those in line are jostling for position.
Rumour is rife and plots are adrift to instituate a new ruler.
There are many contenders and all with their own secret and devious machinations and reasons to want to be chosen.
When the ring upon his death falls into the hands of Perdikkas he declares himself "the chosen."
But with only a tenuous hold and many trying to thwart him how long can he hold onto the crown?
A fast paced story with rich historical detail and background I look forward to reading more in the series.
