Born in exile, Pyrrhus of Epirus rises to reclaim his lost kingdom, proving himself a warrior as fierce as his ancestor, Achilles. From the battlefields of Greece to the war-torn lands of Italy, he wages war against powerful enemies, including Macedon, Rome, and shifting allies who betray him at every turn. As he builds an empire through blood and conquest, Pyrrhus seeks not just victory, but immortality—a place among the greatest legends of history.

But war demands sacrifice. And the price of ambition is steep.


Years after his father’s fall, Alexander II of Epirus is forced into exile, raised in a land of warriors. As a young king, he reclaims his throne and seeks to restore his father’s legacy. But he soon faces an even greater threat—Rome, an empire that will not bow to kings or gods.

Outnumbered and surrounded by betrayal, Alexander must decide what kind of ruler he will be—one who fights for his people, or one who fights for history. As war consumes the land, his destiny unfolds in a battle that will determine not only his fate, but the fate of all who defy the rise of an empire.

Crown and Blood

Pyrrhus's fleet sailed toward Sicily, its banners fluttering in the wind.

The war with Rome had drained him. If he was to win, he needed allies.

In the grand hall of Syracuse, the Carthaginian emissary stood before him, his dark eyes unreadable.

"King Pyrrhus," the emissary said smoothly. "Carthage has watched your war with great interest."

Pyrrhus folded his arms. "Then you know I need more men. More ships."

The emissary smirked. "And in return?"

Pyrrhus exhaled. "An alliance. When I take Italy, Carthage will share in the spoils."

The emissary studied him for a long moment.

"You misunderstand us, Pyrrhus. We do not seek to share in your victories."

Pyrrhus's golden eyes darkened. "Then what do you seek?"

The emissary smiled coldly. "Your failure."

Carthage had already made its choice.

And for the first time, Pyrrhus felt the walls closing in.
