Themistocles stands as the battle-scarred leader of Athens. Yet he is no nobleman and is distrusted by many.
But those who stand against him cannot argue with two things: his victories as a warrior, and the vast Persian army heading their way . . .
And so Themistocles must fight.
Fight the invaders. Fight the allies who despise him. Fight for his city.
As the Persians draw close, he must prove himself again and again in battle.
Because history belongs to the courageous . . .
Set in the bloody, brutal world of Ancient Persia, an age of ever-shifting loyalties and epic battles. Witness the rise and fall of the world's greatest empire.
This book is fantastic. I can't wait for the next in the Athenian series to come out.
This book in one word: Epic!
The action is cinematic, the fighting intense and bloody. The perspective switches between Aristides and Mardonius, allowing the reader to feel the ratcheting tension as each side wins or loses each engagement.
Protector is truly an epic story. Really recommend this book to those who interested in historical fiction.

The book is the second instalment in the epic historical fiction series known as Athenian and is every bit the bloody battleground and violent hubbub as further wars rage on. It takes you on a vivid adventure where Themistocles will risk everything.
