The Muse and Her Thief

He who buries the old king shall succeed him.

The corpse of Alexander the Great just became a hot commodity.

Alexander of Macedon vanquished every empire that stood against him, wept because there were no more worlds to conquer, and died of a plate of bad oysters. Now, as his spear-won lands descend into anarchy, the two most powerful generals in the Mediterranean squabble over his legacy—and his mortal remains.

Now a swashbuckling schoolteacher-by-day, thief-by-night and his colorful crew set out to steal Alexander’s corpse back from his usurper (for an outrageous sum of money, of course, and maybe a shot at redemption). 

They're up against warring generals, fanatical soldiers, an unpredictable barbarian dowager, a herd of war elephants, and a three-headed guard hellhound chained to a temple on wheels at the head of the greatest funeral cortege the Mediterranean world has ever seen. 

But it’s from the faith of mortals that hungry and volatile new gods are wrought, and there’s an awful lot of faith in the deified Alexander floating around…
