Synopsis

Leonidas: The Hero of Thermopylae

In 480 BC he would defy an army half a million strong. But who was Leonidas? As the youngest son of King Anaxandridas, he went barefoot and hungry like the other Spartan boys in the infamous Agoge.

Now, a young man, he has only one goal, to be the perfect Spartan citizen, A Peerless Peer.

In search of a wife, Leonidas courts a beauty. But another young woman knows she is destined to be his queen: Gorgo.

This is the second book in a trilogy of biographical novels about Leonidas and Gorgo. The first book, A Boy of the Agoge, described Leonidas' childhood in Sparta's infamous public school. The last book in the series, A Heroic King, describes his rise to power, reign and death.
