Good day and happy Sunday everyone, I’m Elena from Italy and thanks for reading Alessandro III di Macedonia- Alexander the Great and Hellenism. A few days ago was published the second chapter of a trilogy of novels about Alexander the Great:

Aniketos. Alexander the Great Book 2

by Argent Wood

(The God-Born #2)

Independently Published, 2023

King of Makedon at 20, leader of the Greek invasion of Persia at 21, the world lies waiting

Called ‘Aniketos’ – the Invincible by the God Apollo, all he has to do now is prove it.
Alexander’s father, Philip of Macedon used his genius to take control of the Greek world. Alexander inherited this world of Greek city-states, still in its infancy, after Philip’s murder. He took it from there…

Covering the years from 334 to 331 BCE, this book is the second in the Alexander trilogy in the series, The God-Born.

Argent Wood is a writer of historical fiction currently living in the UK. In the Company of Friends, the first book in the Alexander trilogy, was published early in 2023. This is the second book of the trilogy. The final book will be published in 2024.

The God Apollo named him ‘Invincible’, now he must prove it…

While Alexander fights the Persian Empire, Hephaistion fights for a position of respect within Alexander’s court, while remaining Alexander’s beloved – two seemingly incompatible roles.

Alexander and Hephaistion have been lovers since they were 17 when Alexander was still just a prince of Makedon. Now he is the King and is leading a campaign against Persia on behalf of all Hellas. As Alexander becomes more powerful and moves away from his Makedonian roots, his court and all those around him begin to change too.

Told mostly from Hephaistion’s point of view, this novel follows the changing relationship between Alexander and his beloved companion as Alexander conquers Asia. The period and the events covered are from crossing to Asia in May 334 BCE to the battle of Gaugamela on Oct 1 331 BCE.

Aniketos is the second book in the Alexander trilogy which began with “In the Company of Friends.” The third in the series will be published in 2024.

This is the second chapter of The God-Born trilogy and the first In the Company of Friends was published at the beginning of this year.

I’ve to read them both because this series interests me a lot!! What do you think? Happy Sunday,
