Publisher's Summary

Alexanor is a man who has seen too much blood. He has left the sword behind him to become a healer in the greatest sanctuary in Greece, turning his back on war.

But war has followed him to his refuge at Epidauros and now a battle to end the freedom of Greece is all around him. The Mediterranean superpowers of Rome, Egypt and Macedon are waging their proxy wars on Hellenic soil, turning Greek farmers into slaves and mercenaries.

When wounded soldier Philopoemen is carried into his temple, Alexanor believes the man's wounds are mortal but that he is not destined to die. Because he knows Philopoemen will become Greece's champion. Its last hero. The new Achilles.

A very enjoyable read

Cameron delivers another satisfying read, this time from the perspective of a fighting doctor.
the unique main character lends a fascinating look at the Macedonian world.

superb

Truly excellent. A real immersion of life and morality in ancient Greece. An inspirational tale of the pure desire to heal and build, and the challenges in a violent world.
