Alexander’s beauty, strength and defiance were apparent from birth, but his boyhood honed those gifts into the makings of a king. Killing his first man in battle at the age of 12, he became regent at sixteen and commander of Macedon’s cavalry at 18.
In this novel, Mary Renault traces the last years of Alexander’s life through the eyes of his lover, Bagoas. Bagoas was gelded as a child and was sold as a courtesan to King Darius of Persia before Alexander’s army conquered Persia. Initially he was taken on as an attendant to Alexander’s household.
