Description As Books The Sacred Band (The Sacred Band of Stepsons Expanded "Author's Cut" editions #8)

The Sacred Band of Thebes lives on, a world away, in this mythic novel of love in war in ancient times. In 338 BCE, during the Battle of Chaeronea that results in the massacre of the Sacred Band of Thebes, the legendary Tempus and his Stepson cavalry rescue twenty-three pairs of Theban Sacred Banders, paired lovers and friends, to fight on other days. These forty-six Thebans, whose bones will never lie in the mass grave that holds their two hundred and fifty-four brothers, join with the immortalized Tempus and his Sacred Band of Stepsons, consummate ancient cavalry fighters, to make new lives in a faraway land and fight the battle of their dreams where gods walk the earth, ghosts take the field, and the angry Fates demand their due.

Having had my eyes on this book for a while, I was so happy when I was finally given the opportunity to receive a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Let's just say that I wasn't disappointed! This is a book of 500+ page magnitude, that's for sure. I love the way the author so beautifully weaved the intricate stories and lives of the characters together with the epic mix of gods, demigods and mortals. Also, I really appreciate the fact that the author managed to steer away

So engrossing! I adore ancient history.

This is the first Sacred Band story I have ever read and I'm left wondering how in the heck I overlooked this amazing world created by Janet Morris and Chris Morris in the 1980s. (Whoops, did I just carbon date myself there?) One of the things I found so great about this book is that it doesn't matter that I missed all that cool stuff in the '80s because I picked this one up and dove right. Sure there were a very few allusions to prior stories, but not enough to make you feel like you've really

This is a meaty book and my slugs and I love meaty things... We could really get our teeth into this and devour the rich content as it contained all things that we love most - war, heroism, mythology and love. Written with care and woven together beautifully, it tells the story of a challenge to the gods and a mighty rescue - it reminds me of 300 meets Saving Private Ryan meets Zulu. With great, in-depth characters and vividly drawn imagery, this is a book that cannot be put down. If you're

Can't get enough of this! Highly recommended.
