Fire from Heaven (Alexander the Great #1)
by Mary Renault
Alexander’s beauty, strength, and defiance were apparent from
birth, but his boyhood honed those gifts into the makings of a king. His
mother, Olympias, and his father, King Philip of Macedon, fought each other for
their son’s loyalty, teaching Alexander politics and vengeance from the cradle.
His love for the youth Hephaistion taught him trust, while Aristotle’s tutoring
provoked his mind and Homer’s Iliad fueled his aspirations. Killing his first
man in battle at the age of twelve, he became regent at sixteen and commander
of Macedon’s cavalry at eighteen, so that by the time his father was murdered,
Alexander’s skills had grown to match his fiery ambition.

Funeral Games (Alexander the Great #3)
by Mary Renault
“Renault’s best historical novel yet.... Every detail has solid
historical testimony to support it.” - New
York Review of Books
After Alexander’s death in
323 B.C .his only direct heirs were two unborn sons and a simpleton
half-brother. Every long-simmering faction exploded into the vacuum of power.
Wives, distant relatives, and generals all vied for the loyalty of the
increasingly undisciplined Macedonian army. Most failed and were killed in the
attempt. For no one possessed the leadership to keep the great empire from
crumbling. But Alexander’s legend endured to spread into worlds he had seen
only in dreams.
