    About this audiobook

    "We were a doomed race. With our bloodstained hands we conquered, we loved and we fell."



    Thessaloniki lived in a time when Alexander the Great was racing across the known world conquering all in his path. She was his half-sister living the privileged life of a Macedonian Princess. Under the protective eye of Olympias she learned to see everyone as an enemy. Then Alexander perishes.



    Suddenly, she finds herself thrust forward onto the political stage as those around her struggle for power. In a world, where loyalty is for sale, and words are empty promises, she must find a way to survive—even if that means turning to her enemies. Navigating the narrow straits of desire and duty, her very life hangs in the balance as she tries to find the strength buried within her.



    Fact and fiction weave together to create the story of a woman overshadowed by her father, brother, and finally, her husband. This is the tragic tale of a forgotten Princess who becomes a Queen trapped on fortune's wheel—destined to rise and fall.
