New Release! – The Asp of Saqqara: A Novel of Alexander the Great
Greetings Readers and History-Lovers!
Today, Eagles and Dragons Publishing is thrilled to announce the launch of an all new title and series set during one of the most exciting periods in ancient history: the campaigns of Alexander the Great.
This book is unlike any other work that we’ve previously released. It’s the first book that Adam has written from a first person perspective, and it is in the form of a fictional memoir that gives readers an intimate look at one of the most epic journeys in history.
It is the story of an assassin, the son of a god, and an epic journey into the unknown…
Would you kill a god to save your family?
On the fringes of the great necropolis of Saqqara, Hanbal, son of Akil, has always lived a life of peace and plenty on his family’s horse farm. That is, until the hordes of King Darius’ Persian army arrive and the people of Egypt find themselves persecuted and enslaved, and their ancient gods disrespected.
When Hanbal’s family and fortune are destroyed by the invaders, he takes up the mantle of an assassin, one who fights from the shadows for the people of Egypt.
Then, one day, hope springs out of the west at the coming of Alexander of Macedon and his army. The land of Egypt is liberated and the people welcome their new pharaoh with open arms.
That hope, however, turns to bitter disappointment for Hanbal the day that two Athenian spies appear at his door with an ultimatum…
He must kill Alexander of Macedon or else lose his wife and children to pain and death.
Can Hanbal save his family? Can he bring himself to kill the king who has liberated his homeland? Or will he be swept away in a river of blood to the ends of the Earth?
Only the Gods know…
We are thrilled to release this latest novel, and we hope that you all enjoy it!
The Asp of Saqqara is now available in ebook, paperback, and deluxe hardcover editions from all major online retailers, independent bookstores, brick and mortar chains, and your local public library.
