Blood of Akhilles: A Novel of Alexander the Great
by R. M. MeluchKing Philip lies dead in the theatre, struck down like a sacrificial bull on his day of triumph in front of all the subject nations of Hellas. Twenty-year-old Alexander, son of Philip, must seize his father&’s throne and, harder still, he must hold it against his many rivals, who are Philip&’s veteran generals and noblemen, a royal cousin who was once crowned king in his infancy, and the secret conspirators who moved the assassin&’s hand, even as all the conquered cities of Hellas rise from under Philip&’s dead heel to reclaim their independence from the despised Makedones. The task is overwhelming, but Alexander has complete faith in his own destiny and he quite literally changes the face of Hellas. Born in the Dog Star&’s heat, on the sixth of the month of Loios, the very day that a wonder of the world, the great temple of Artemis at Ephesos, burned to the ground, Alexander was destined for immortality. When such events collide, of gods and kings, such things are never coincidence. Alexander is blood of Akhilles.
Blood of Ambrose (Morlock Ambrosius)
by James EngeIn a remote city on the edge of two worlds, where blood has power and water is more precious than freedom, three far-flung friends unite on a quest to save their families. Sal Hrvati&’s estranged father has brought more into the world than the woman he loved. Instead of saving her from the Void Beneath, he has summoned an unknown creature — a creature with a mission of its own and a past that stretches back to the beginning of the world. The quest to find both of them entangles Sal and his companions in a hunt for magical treasure on the floor of the Divide, a mighty crack in the earth inhabited by creatures that are not remotely human. Desert landscapes and dirigibles feature in a fast-paced fantasy that combines romance, adventure, and humor with an original take on magic. The Books of the Cataclysm take inspiration from many arcane and mythological sources. In positing that this world is just one of many "realms," three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives, it begins in the present world but soon propels the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic.
