Happy week-end and good day everyone, I’m Elena from Italy and thanks for reading Alessandro III di Macedonia- your source about Alexander the Great and Hellenism! Today I’m announcing the release a few days ago of a historical novel from an unmissable series for fans of Alexander the Great and Hellenism:

Forging Kingdoms

by Robert Fabbri

(Alexander’s Legacy #5)

Atlantic Books, 2023

‘This may be the greatest tale of the ancient world. Hugely enjoyable’ CONN IGGULDEN

‘Excellent . . . scintillating’ THE TIMES

Forging Kingdoms is the fifth book in a huge, brutal and bloodthirsty series about the fight to regain Alexander the Great’s empire after his untimely death.

From the shattered empire, five kingdoms are emerging.

Seleukos, triumphant in the capture of Babylon, now faces the challenge of holding onto his hard-won prize. One-eyed Antigonos and his son are newly reconciled and both hungry for revenge.

But Antigonos has foes of his own. Driven by vengeance, widowed Artonis sides with Ptolemy, planning to thwart the one-eyed brute. The key to their success is Herakles, the sixteen-year-old illegitimate son of Alexander. To see him crowned, they will not only need an army but also to eliminate Kassandros, a powerful rival with his own designs on the throne of Macedon. Meanwhile in the north, Lysimachus broods.

As loyalties shift like sand and political ambitions run rife, the stage is set for the greatest war in the ancient world.

Who will win the fight for the greatest Kingdom in the ancient world? Let the games begin . . .

Robert Fabbri read Drama and Theatre at London University and worked in film and TV for twenty-five years. He has a life-long passion for ancient history, which inspired him to write the bestselling Vespasian series and the Alexander’s Legacy series. He lives in London and Berlin.

I’m a little behind in reading this series but it’s beautiful and compelling and follows the fights or games that occurred after Alexander the Great’s death. Forging Kingdoms is the fifth and penultimate book in the series which will be followed by the sixth and final Beyond the Grave. For me they are books to read and I hope that Newton Compton Editori will continue to publish them in Italian because this series of books is exciting and it is an excellent opportunity to learn about what happened when Alexander died in a fun way.

Thanks and have a good day,
