Colossus

What if Alexander the Great had not died young?

Babylon, 323 BC: As captain of the war elephants, Gajendra owes everything to Alexander - the conqueror who raised him from obscurity. With his loyal elephant, Colossus, Gajendra rises swiftly through the ranks, driven by ambition and an unshakeable devotion to his king.

When Alexander sets his sights on Carthage, the ancient world trembles. Mara, daughter of a Carthaginian general, is captured amid the chaos. Her fate becomes entangled with Gajendra's - and together they ignite a chain of events that could alter the course of history itself.

As conquest blurs into obsession, Gajendra discovers the bond he shares with Colossus may be the key to both Alexander's triumph - and his undoing.

A sweeping tale of war, loyalty and destiny spanning Babylon, Carthage and Sicily, this speculative re-imagining of Alexander's empire will grip fans of Conn Iggulden, Steven Pressfield and Madeleine Miller.
