Spying for Alexander: A Novel of Alexander the Great: 2 (Alexander and Hephaestion) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

"Crowns, conquest, and the love no throne could kill."

Aegae, October 336 B.C. King Philip II is dead. His twenty-year-old son Alexander has inherited a throne, an army, and a circle of enemies stretching from the highlands of Macedon to the gold-stained court of Persepolis. At his side stands his closest friend and lover, Hephaestion — and for the first time, Hephaestion is afraid.

Alexander is king now. Kings need heirs. Kings take wives. Kings replace the youths they once loved.

So begins Spying for Alexander, the second book of the Alexander and Hephaestion trilogy — a sweeping story of love tested across four years of war, intrigue, and conquest. As Alexander marches south to break the Greek revolt at Thebes and east across the Hellespont into Persia, Hephaestion fights a quieter, lonelier war: for his place in the king's bed, in his counsel, in his heart, against rivals who would happily see him exiled or dead.

From the battle of the Granicus to the bloody cavalry charge at Issus, from the spy-haunted streets of Damascus to the seven-month Siege of Tyre, this is the story of two young men who refuse to let a crown come between them — and the network of friends, lovers, agents, and informants whose loyalty makes the conquest possible.
