Alexander the Great dies in Babylon without naming a clear successor, leaving his generals, bodyguards, family and ministers to interpret his final wishes. The novel follows the first scramble for authority as the regency, the royal bloodline and control of the army become matters of immediate danger. Babylon becomes the centre of a political crisis in which Alexander’s companions begin to understand that loyalty to the dead king will not prevent the empire from being fought over.
