Maurya | A Deon and Eurydice Adventure in India

Deon and Eurydice return in this new adventure! 309 B.C. A place where Deon never wanted to go. It has been nearly fifteen years since Alexander the Great’s death, and his kingdom, from Macedonia to the borders of India, has been torn to pieces by his rapacious and ambitious generals. Seleucus Nicator reigns in Babylon, presiding over the eastern empire from Syria to the Indus River. But no expanse of land is enough for the insatiable ego of a man who seeks glory by accomplishing what his deified King once could not—conquering the vast and wealthy India, where a powerful new emperor, guided by a cunning and brilliant mentor, poses a threat to Seleucus’ ambitions. Now, Deon, with his prodigious memory, and Eurydice, with her linguistic prowess, are back, assisting Seleucus in a diabolical new mission into the heart of the unknown. The two are about to plunge into a dangerous and unfamiliar world, where wit is as much a weapon as a sword, and where one miscalculation can lead not only to their terrible deaths but end the entire Seleucid empire. One of the few novels set in this period, Maurya brings to life ancient India during an exciting time. —- ISBN: 9798859198047
