A startlingly original first novel by this generations answer to Alice Munro (The Vancouver Sun)a bold reimagining of one of historys most intriguing relationships: between legendary philosopher Aristotle and his most famous pupil, the young Alexander the Great.

342 BC: Aristotle is reluctant to set aside his own ambitions in order to tutor Alexander, the rebellious son of his boyhood friend Philip of Macedon. But the philosopher soon comes to realize that teaching this charming, surprising, sometimes horrifying teenagerheir to the Macedonian throne, forced onto the battlefield before his timeis a necessity amid the ever more sinister intrigues of Philips court.
