Satyrus is drawn into the contest between Ptolemy and Antigonus as Demetrius brings a vast siege operation against Rhodes. The island’s resistance depends on walls, ships, engineers and the willingness of citizens and foreign soldiers to endure a campaign designed to break both trade and political independence.

Command places Satyrus between his family’s interests in the Black Sea and alliances formed in the wider successor wars. As siege engines rise outside the city, he must decide how far to risk his people for Rhodes and whether service to one great king merely prepares the victory of another.
