The dye was cast. There were no more questions, no more hesitations. The actions of the Warrior Queen had sealed the fate of the Greek Demos. Xerxes, the Great, would take his army and blacken the soil of Attica with their blood. He swore to his God and to his ancestors that Athens would burn, and he would spit on the sacred ground of the Greek civilization. There was no turning back. The Persians would take their justified vengeance.
Themistocles, the leader of the Demos, and Leonidas, the King of Sparta had formed an alliance to stop the Persian invasion. But their numbers were hopelessly small, and their prospects of survival were miniscule. They faced annihilation and extermination of their race. The Great Oracle at Delphi had outlined a strategy for them. It centered on a wooden wall and praying to the Wind. But the Oracle was not specific, what did this mean? No mere wall could stop such a hoard, and abandon the Gods for the Wind, made no sense.
This book, the final in the four part Persian Saga, is a journey of vengeance and brilliance. It sets the political stage for the next thousand years. The fight between egalitarianism and absolutism had begun.
This is the story of the First Ancient World War!
