Alexander of Macedon was just twenty years old in 334BC when he set
out with a small army to challenge Persia, the largest and most
powerful empire in the world. The Macedonians marched East into the
unknown, won battles against overwhelming odds, stormed impregnable
fortresses. In the deserts and mountains between the Aegean and
India they conquered nature itself. Yet disaster was never more
than a sword stroke away. Alexander`s companions were riven with
murderous rivalries, their loyalty contingent. The threat of
treason, inspired by ambition and Persian gold, or by honour and
principle, was ever present. Alexander: The Shadow King tells this
epic story from a new and unique angle through the eyes of another
Alexander, a prince of the Macedonian royal house of Lyncestis. The
Lyncestian was Alexander the Great`s general and friend. But he was
torn between that friendship and the duty to avenge his murdered
brothers, and between adherence to the ways of his ancestors and
the new world of empire. The Lyncestian was never safe. Others -
Persians and Greeks, as well as Macedonians - saw him as a rival
for the throne. For six years of conspiracy and battle, as the
Macedonian army fought its way East, his life hung by a thread.
Alexander of Lyncestis was The Shadow King.
