Much is expected of Alexander, the only son of Alexander
the Great, but he's more than ready for the task. His
skills on the battlefield are well known, and he's charming
yet cautious when it comes to social and political affairs.
His search for a wife worthy of the noble lineage of his
family finds him engaged to Princess Mereret, the daughter
of the Egyptian King Ptolemy, and while waiting for the
wedding date to arrive, a slave girl named Kiara is sent to
entertain him. Although Alexander is stunned and enchanted
by her beauty, his responsibility is clear.
When evil events begin to unfold that even Alexander can't
control, many lives are put in danger, including those of
Alexander and Kiara. This slave girl, with whom Alexander
is so taken, appears to be the least able to help him. When
she successfully evades their pursuers to save both their
lives, her promised payment is that he accompany her home
to the coast of Ireland where she was abducted as a child.
Torn between the promise he's made to Kiara and his need to
thwart the evil plans now in motion that threaten his
homeland, Alexander makes his decision. But will it be the
right one?
This historical romance is the third in the Alexander
trilogy following THE BARBARIAN and THE CONQUEROR. With the
jeweled and gilded glories of mighty ancient Alexandria as
a backdrop, Ms. French takes the reader on a trip of high
adventure, romance and intrigue. Rich with historical
detail, the story is enlivened even more by subplots and
indispensable secondary characters who both support and
enhance the danger to the main characters. You'll feel
compassion and pride at Kiara's never-failing hope and
strength to endure. You'll love Alexander's single-minded
ambition and physical strength tempered with a gentle inner
goodness. THE WARRIOR is a must-read for anyone who loves
historical romantic adventure.
