About the Book
323 B.C., Babylon
King Alexander the Great has died, and his bloodthirsty generals quarrel for the pieces of a vast empire.
But in Babylon, a thousand miles away from home, Captain Deon faces his own nightmare: a vicious lender threatens to sell his wife and young daughter into slavery if he does not clear his crippling debt.
Hope glimmers when the dead king's wily secretary dangles a quest that promises not just a respite from his debt but a retirement in luxury.
But the mission is a lie.
Thrust into the murky waters of succession, deceived and threatened by the man he trusted, Deon has only one choice: to accept a dangerous new undertaking or let his family perish in the brutal gold mines of Nubia.
Assisted by a companion as skilled in tongues as she is with a dagger, and pursued by malignant forces that will stop at nothing, Deon must now cross violent lands to find an astonishing mystery hidden for a thousand years.
And yet at the doorsteps of the ultimate prize awaits a haunting dilemma: is the death of a million innocents worth the life of his family?
