Dawn of Legends
About this ebook
After royal blood spills and flood waters rise, the son of a god is safe to fulfill a prophecy. Alexander of Macedon has fought many men and monsters, but the pending war against the deadly Spirit Eaters is different. Much more is at stake, including the future of humanity.
As Alexander's destiny draws closer, a new kind of army assembles for battle, an exiled queen meets a runaway princess, and spies infiltrate the Aesarian Lords. Friends will risk their lives as they unite against evil to turn the tide of war into one of history's greatest alliances. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, some will rise to tame death and become legends, while others meet their end.
