Over and again, the aged seeress Tamis scried all the possible tomorrows. In every one, dark forces threatened Greece; terrible evil was poised to reenter the world. The future held only one hope: a half-caste Spartan boy, Parmenion. So Tamis made it her mission to see that Parmenion would before the deadliest warrior in the world -- no matter what the cost. Raised to manhood in Sparta, bullied and forced to fight for his life every day, Parmenion had no notion of the unseen dimensions of magic and mystery that shaped his fate. He grew in strength and cunning. His military genius earned him the title Strategos in Sparta. His triumphs for the city of Thebes made him a hero. And finally his fate led him to the service of Philip of Macedon. As Tamis had foreseen, Parmenion's destiny was tied to the Dark God, to Philip, and to the yet-unborn Alexander. All too soon the future was upon them. Parmenion stood poised to defeat evil -- or to open the gate for the Dark God to reenter the world.

This book was the first book of David Gemmell's that I read that sent me on a love affair with his books. This book (if I can remember correctly) is the first one in this series.
READ IT you wont be disapointed.
A very difficult book to put down. Heroic fantasy blended with ancient history set in classical Greece. Parmenion, our not so perfect hero is haunted by his mixed heritage we follow his journey to become the best warrior of his time along with his dream to see Sparta fall. Like most D.Gemmell books this evokes strong emotions, love, hate, vengeance and heroism. ...And if you ever wondered why 'Alexander' become so great have a read of this.
this book is based around the alexander the great era of people like phillip II alexander parmenion etc however this is a completely fictional setting and is centered on parmenion helping alexander in the underworld this is a good book and really is cool to read fictional events based on them i recommend iit
