Funeral Games (Alexander the Great series Book 3)

â€œMary Renault is a shining light to both historical novelists and their readers. She does not pretend the past is like the present, or that the people of ancient Greece were just like us. She shows us their strangeness; discerning, sure-footed, challenging our values, piquing our curiosity, she leads us through an alien landscape that moves and delights us.â€â€”Hilary MantelÂ

By the end of his reign, Alexander the Great had seized control of an empire that extended from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River. When he died in 323 BC, a fervent scramble for power ensued.Â Funeral GamesÂ is Mary Renaultâ€™s remarkable novel of this turmoil and the gradual erosion of the Greek empire. The power players include Ptolemy, two father-son teams, and a cadre of influential womenâ€”not least of whom is Eurydike, whose plan is to marry Alexanderâ€™s disabled brother,Â Arridaios.Â

Brimming with outsize personalities, brazen plots, and a sweeping sense of history,Â Funeral GamesÂ brings to vivid life the world of Alexander the Great, and the seismic tumult in the wake of his death.

Funeral GamesÂ is the final volume ofÂ the Novels of Alexander the Great trilogy, which begins withÂ The Persian BoyÂ andFire from Heaven.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Mary Renault including rare images of the author.Â
