Series
Alexander’s Legacy follows the violent struggle for power after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE. The sequence is not about Alexander’s conquests themselves but about the generals, royal women, heirs and soldiers left to divide an empire too large for any single successor to control. Across the series, Babylon, Macedon, Egypt, Asia and the eastern satrapies become arenas for shifting alliances, dynastic claims, murder, regency politics and the wars of the Diadochi.
