Description:

*****The final chapter of *****************The Bow of Heaven******* trilogy****************, Blood of Eagles******************, **is now available!***** At 19, they chained Alexandros to the monstrous tail of a victorious Roman army marching home; just one more morsel among thousands for a city always hungry for another helping of slaves. 30 years later, he rides at the head of seven legions beside his master and benefactor. Marcus Licinius Crassus is a man bent upon a war of revenge. Alexandros will do anything to stop him. From the **Historical Novel Society** review:  "Readers need not read the first volume in order to enjoy this current one, and Roman history buffs will be able to guess the shape of the new book's plot: Crassus, financier, doting father and husband, disgruntled triumvir, and would-be conqueror of the East. Levkoff has Alexander the slave at his master's side through almost everything, without ever sentimentalizing his slave status (Crassus may like Alexander, but he's also quick to threaten floggings when he's in a bad mood) or filling the character with improbable braveries." *"No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness." - * Aristotle ** ### Review "Lavishly detailed and exuberantly intelligent. Filled with intrigue and action ... readers are drawn along by the author's sharp ear for dialogue and his impeccable dramatic timing." - *EDITORS' CHOICE**, **The Historical Novel Society*** "The work and the story in this book stand solidly alone so that you will enjoy it whether you have read the first or not. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good adventure story and to historical fans alike."* - Kathryn Bennett for **Reader's Favorite*** ### From the Author In a *A Mixture of Madness*, acerbic, wry yet impossibly romantic Alexandros, having survived scourging and more than one assassination attempt in the house of Crassus, finds that that was just a foretaste. As his master prepares for a war the senate will not sanction, new villains threaten, outlandish and terrifying strangers invade Rome's borders, and Alexandros is faced with the greatest trial of his life. And amidst the upheaval, he will gain a family from familiar and unexpected places. Alexandros is bitterly against his master's grand scheme of revenge against the ambitious and ruthless Julius Caesar. But what can he do? Crassus is raising an army to invade Parthia, the mysterious Eastern empire across the Euphrates. Alexandros has no choice but to follow and obey. Until, that is, he can come up with a better plan. A plan that, for a slave with nothing, will cost him everything.
