King of Kings
In a world where legends fade but their echoes remain, one name stands above all: Alexander the Great.
King of Kings is a masterful tapestry of memory, power, and legacy, weaving together the lives of history's most formidable figures with the rise and fall of a man who dared to conquer the world.

Each visit triggers a journey through time, where the dreams and deeds of the boy who would dare conquer the world are revealed in vivid, unforgettable flashbacks.
As these rulers reflect on the conquests, ambitions, and burdens they share with the long-dead conqueror, the novel unravels the complexities of Alexander’s character: his unmatched military genius, his insatiable hunger for power, his struggles with identity and mortality. But even as the echoes of his past resound through the ages, the question lingers—what does it truly mean to be King of Kings?
Rich in historical detail and brimming with intrigue, King of Kings is a gripping exploration of the eternal chase for glory and the shadows it leaves behind. Step into the world of legends, where the tombs of the great are never silent, and history is always waiting to be rewritten.
