The Spoils of War

The Spoils of War, a Novel of the Ancient World

A timeless tale of longing and of budding love, The Spoils of War, a Novel of the Ancient World, tells the story of a Greek warrior possessed by the spirit of a god and a Chinese maiden with tiny feet who longs to be relieved of her burdensome virginity. In the 4th century, B. C. E., Alexander of Macedonia, known as Xander, travels from Babylon to Ancient Cathay in 4th century B.C.E., during the period of the Warring States, a time of battle drums and blood, when seven kingdoms vied to rule over all the rest. As in all good stories, Xander and Vermilion have their enemies and their allies. And oh, yes, there’s a dragon in it. Fans of George R. R.Martin's Games of Thrones, Madeline Miller’s A Song of Achilles and Circe, and Ann Liang’s A Song to Drown Rivers might enjoy this book, too.
