Tyrant

The Tyrant series is set around the Black Sea during the conquests of Alexander the Great and the wars among his successors. It begins with the Athenian soldier Kineas and the Scythian leader Srayanka, then continues through their children Satyrus and Melitta as Macedonian generals compete to divide an empire.

Greek cities, steppe peoples and maritime kingdoms occupy the ground between rulers whose armies can overturn entire regions. The sequence combines dynastic restoration with cavalry campaigns, naval war and major sieges, asking how smaller states can preserve political independence when every alliance risks replacing one master with another.
