Elektros: Book 1

THE GREAT KING WANTS REVENGE, his army is coming, and all Hellas knows it. Elektros, born a slave on a small island in the Aegean, is half Scythian and an uncannily natural warrior. The Athenian strategos Themistocles spots Elektros' talent early and arranges for him to be trained by the legendary-and legendarily cruel-swordsman Xenocrates. Elektros learns of love and loss, joy and death, as he begins to carve out a legend of his own.
