"Young Conquerors" is out one week from today!
All my novels have so much of me in them. As it turns out, this one might have just a little bit more.
If you have a moment, I wrote a short article about how and why this novel is different, what it means, and what's at stake :)

**Young Conquerors** - out in one month!
Hello Goodreads family!
It's with great pleasure I'm able to announce the upcoming publication of my second novel, "Young Conquerors," on September 10th, 2024.
It's once again set in Greece and the land of my ancestors and is narrated by the character of Hephaestion, who was the second half of Alexandros' soul, as Aristotle observed of the two of them, and the one who knew him best.
Alexandros is someone who of course, after his time in Greece and with Aristotle, later goes on to conquer the entire world - all without losing a battle - before he dies at 33.
That's never been the interesting part of his story to me.
Rather, what I've always found fascinating is how that unbeatable conqueror is created, and that's what this story is, narrated by the one who loved and knew him best.
In short: it's a story of a great
love that's been erased by history, and also the story of just how Alexandros became Great.
It's written for fans of Madeline Miller and "The Song of Achilles," and if you have a chance to add it to your "Want to Read list" and check it out - I so very much hope you enjoy!
It's been a true labor of love and passion over the course of an entire lifetime thus far, and I can't wait to share it with the world on September 10th, 2024.

Hello!
Is this thing on??
I've been a Goodreads member for a long time but recently becoming more active and so great to meet and connect with you all!
I'm a screenwriter with my first movie I've written on (the adaptation of the Marvel character RED SONJA) coming out soon, and I'm also an author and have my second novel, YOUNG CONQUERORS, set to be published on Sept 10th!
I think and hope it's something you'll all love, so please feel free to add to your shelves, pre-order, shoot me a note about it if you have further questions, or anything else - it's a historical fiction novel also set in Greece, the land of my ancestors, and in the vein of THE SONG OF ACHILLES. I've pasted the full flap copy below, so very much hope you all enjoy, and let me know what you think!
With best regards,
Christopher
Young Conquerors: A Novel of Hephaestion and Alexandros
A boy who was never meant to be king, a horizon waiting to be explored, a love and legend that moved and created worlds, and has been erased... until now.
Pella, Greece; 341 B.C.
Alexandros is a middle child caught between two warring spouses, born to both a king and queen, but never meant to rule himself. When a mysterious young man arrives from the north, fleeing his own family, and meets Alexandros in a garden in the Macedonian capital, the bond that's created between them will soon become unbreakable and ultimately define both the direction of the Ancient World, and ours.
For fans of The Song of Achilles and Madeline Miller, Young Conquerors is a novel of the vast mysteries of the human heart that gives two of the most important figures in history the love story they deserve and shows how Alexandros, later called "the Great," was shaped, formed, and ultimately turned into the man who would go on to become the greatest conqueror and visionary the world had ever seen, all told through the eyes of the one he loved, and who knew him best.
A beautiful, sweeping, epic, and breathtaking novel from a new and important voice in Greek fiction, this is an intimate and vivid portrait of two of the most famous young men in history as they've never been seen before: caught between youthful ambition and eternal love, and on the precipice of changing the world.
