A thousand year mystery. Would you risk a million innocents to save two?\n\nBabylon, 323 B.C.\n\nKing Alexander the Great has died without an heir and blood-thirsty generals circle each other, plotting for the throne and pieces of a vast and restless empire. But captain Deon has other worries—his ugly past has finally caught up with him, and now a vicious lender will sell his family to slavery if he does not clear his debt. Desperate, he accepts a mission from Alexander’s wily Royal Secretary in return for a generous reward.\n\nDeon soon discovers that nothing is as it seems in the murky waters of succession. Deceived and threatened, he faces a stark choice: decode a secret with the power to bequeath the owner with the keys to Alexander’s throne and earn his family's freedom, or let them die in the brutal gold mines of Ethiopia.\n\nAssisted by a companion as skilled with languages as she is with a dagger, and pursued by forces that will stop at nothing, Deon must cross lands erupting in violence and find an astonishing mystery hidden for a thousand years. But the more he learns, the more he realizes that his actions will decide the life and death of not only his loved ones but also that of millions of innocents.\n\nNote: Nov 2020, some proofreading gremlins have been fixed\nWhat readers are saying (Amazon Global and Goodreads)\n\n\"I enjoyed this story immensely...\"\n\n\"...You find yourself caring about the characters, and constantly turning the pages to see what happens next...\"\n\n\"...has twists that are unpredictable, and 'aha' moments that will thrill readers...\"\n\n\"..fast paced with a hix of history and fiction... \"\n\n\"...Couldn't always tell what was real and what was fiction, and I love that...\"\n\n\"...Simply wonderful!
