Tyrant First there was Bernard Cornwell. Then there was Conn Iggulden. Now there is Christian Cameron - a startling new talent set to conquer the world of historical adventure.
Fighting alongside Alexander as he burned a path across the Persian Empire, Kineas has seen the God of War loosed upon the world. Leading his Athenian cavalry time and again against the Persian hordes brought Kineas two laurel wreaths for valour and some scars that will never heal. But at home, his reward for fighting with the conqueror is not glory but shame - and exile.
With nothing to his name but his military reputation, Kineas agrees to lead a handful of veterans to the city of Olbia, where the Tyrant is offering good money to train the city’s elite cavalry. But while Alexander has been conquering the world, Macedon has grown hungry for gold and grain - and Olbia stands, in her path.
Suddenly Kineas and his men are facing the deadliest war machine the world has ever seen .. .
