Kineas of Athens has travelled a hard and bloody road since he led the Athenian cavalry in Alexander the Great's army against the Persians. Now, his body wracked with the pain of old wounds and his dreams full of dead comrades, he has a chance to turn his back on war at last and escape a mercenary's fate. The Scythian warrior princess, the Lady Srayanka of the Cruel Hands clan, is carrying his child, and a new life beckons on the fertile shores of the Euxine Sea. But hundreds of miles to the east, across the Sea of Grass, Alexander is bent on the conquest of the world. Alexander's armies in Afghanistan are poised to destroy the Eastern Scythians if they do not submit. Srayanka is honour bound to fight with her clansmen against 'the monster' and Kineas knows that he has no choice but to follow and face his hero - and nemesis. To take an army on such an epic march, through hostile terrain towards the edge of the known world, will test Kineas's skill and courage to the limit. And waiting for him at the end of the journey will be the man who Kineas once worshipped, the man whose phalanxes have ground every army they have faced into dust - whose victories have made him a god.
