From Publishers Weekly

An epic fictional romance between Alexander the Great and an Amazon queen drives the latest from Shan Sa (Empress). As a boy, Sa's Alexander is abused by his father, King Philip of Macedonia. Alexander grows into a cruel and narcissistic youth with an unquenchable thirst for revenge. His political ambitions blossom under the tutelage of Aristotle, and after his father's assassination, Alexander sets off to conquer Greece, Persia and Egypt. When he meets Alestria, the young queen of the Amazons (a mythical tribe of nomadic, male-spurning female warriors from the eastern steppes), he has perhaps met his match in love and war. Told in the extravagant voices of Alexander and Alestria, and of Alestria's protector and confidante, Ania, there's little subtlety in this sweeping, heroic romance. But strewn amid the pageantry and clamor are fascinating details about Alexander's world and about the legendary Amazons, who, if they existed at all, might have been his contemporaries—and equals.

From

Sa, author of Empress (2006), takes a huge historical leap in this entertaining fictional biography of Alexander the Great. Alexander falls for a mighty Amazon queen—after they battle fiercely—inciting the wrath of Bogoas, his male lover, and the disbelief of Ania, Queen Alestria’s devoted servant. After they marry, Alestria conceives a child despite the machinations of Ania. Pregnancy, however, changes everything for the once fearless and indomitable female warrior. When the call of another battle challenges their new role as lovers rather than fighters, Alexander and Alestria must make compelling decisions that will irrevocably alter their futures. Romance, action, and intrigue combine to set the stage for a page-turning romp through alternate history. --Margaret Flanagan
