The gods watch. Kings command. But warriors decide history.
Born to a slave woman, raised among the dust and hardship of ancient Persia, Kian Mihran expects nothing from life except survival. But courage has a way of changing destiny.
When a chance encounter brings the young warrior to the attention of Cyrus, the ambitious King of Persia, Kian is drawn into a world of kings, priests and empires on the brink of transformation. As Cyrus begins the campaign that will forge the greatest empire the ancient world has yet seen, Kian must prove himself on battlefields stretching from the mountains of Media to the plains of Babylon.
Yet the enemies he faces are not only soldiers.
Assassins hunt him. Ancient rivalries threaten to destroy those he loves. Powerful priests fear the rise of a new empire, while the gods themselves seem determined to shape his destiny. Marked by Ishtar, tested by war and torn between love and duty, Kian discovers that true greatness is measured not by birth, but by the choices a person makes.
From the splendour of Babylon to the Oracle of Delphi, from brutal cavalry battles to intimate moments of loyalty, sacrifice and hope, Warrior of Ishtar is the second volume in the Satrap series, which tells the story of Kian Mihran who rises in the ranks of the army of Cyrus the Great, the warrior king who founded the Persian Empire in the sixth century BC. A map of ancient Persia and the surrounding kingdoms and empires at this time is available to download from the maps page of my website.
