Synopsis

A blockbuster retelling of the Persian Wars from multi-award-winning author of Rubicon and Persian Fire Tom Holland, lavishly illustrated by Jason Cockcroft.

"The Persians are coming..."

With extraordinary and masterful prose, internationally acclaimed author Tom Holland expertly weaves myth and history in a compelling and dramatic retelling of Herodotus. Jason Cockcroft's astonishing artwork boldly evokes vast ancient landscapes, mighty battles and enthralling tales of Greeks and gods.
