Babylon, 323 B.C. King Alexander the Great is dead, and power-hungry generals clash for control of his vast empire.
Captain Deon has his own battle: a ruthless lender threatens his family with slavery if he doesn’t clear his debts. In a desperate bid to save them, he accepts a perilous mission from Alexander’s Royal Secretary, promising a reward that could buy their freedom.
But as Deon plunges into the dark intrigues of succession, he finds himself ensnared in a deadly web of secrets. His only hope lies in decoding a mystery that could determine the next ruler—and save his family.
With a dagger-wielding ally by his side and enemies on his trail, will Deon unlock Alexander’s legacy or become another casualty in the race for power?
