Shadow of a Warrior: A roman historical fiction novel

Trimidites has been slave to the Spartan Eclectus since they were boys. Now, he recollects to his son the epic journey that led to his master’s glory and ultimate downfall. As Greece rises up against the oppressive Rome, Eclectus leads the charge with the fury and mastery of Hercules and Alexander the Great. Trimidites follows his master into battle after battle, dutiful and devoted but always wary. Eclectus may be diving into disaster—and bringing all of Greece with him. Can the great warrior—the last true Spartan—vanquish tyrannical Rome and return Greece to its glory days, or will his thirst for vengeance drive him instead to utter destruction? Trimidites relates every detail of the epic with reverence, honesty, and anguish to the very end of Eclectus’ journey.
