BOOK SYNOPSIS
Alexander the Great ruled the greatest Empire of the ancient world, but he was ruled by his mother, called Olympias. There are as many legends about this powerful Queen as there are of her famous son, and the stories began long before she even met Philip of Macedon. Priestess of the Great Goddess, daughter of ruling house of Epiros, witch, and familiar of Serpents...she was a figure of mystery, fascination and fear even during her own lifetime. Author Judith Tarr uses the legends to weave an intensely romantic fantasy novel set in ancient Greece and Macedon.
BOOK REVIEWS
"Tarr excels at bringing historical events to life." --Publishers Weekly on Queen of Swords
This well-written novel about loyalty, passion, and the search for understanding between different kinds of people showcases Tarrs ability to create fascinating, passionate characters and to bring their unique cultures to life. Highly recommended. --Library Journal on White Mare's Daughter
Seduction, power and politics are the order of the day. --Library Journal on Throne of Isis
Tarr spins an entertaining and often enlightening tale...In keeping with the distances she must travel, historical and otherwise, Tarr travels light. Her prose is lean and powerful, and she exerts admirable control over an impressive cast of characters. --Washington Post Book World on Lord of Two Lands
