Books like GHOST KING by David A. Gemmell

Best book ever

When an emperor is assassinated, his children must survive, seek vengeance, and follow divergent paths: one to monastic solitude, another to elite warfare, and a third to political leadership.

David A. Gemmell’s epic spins the Trojan War through the eyes of a priestess, a legendary swordsman, and a burgeoning hero, weaving familiar figures like Hektor and Odysseus into a Bronze Age saga.

The final chapter of Salvatore’s Transitions trilogy sees Drizzt and his companions confronting the unleashed power of the Crenshinibon amid the Spellplague’s devastation of Faerûn.

Alexander the Great, perhaps the most commanding leader in history, united his empire and his army by the titanic force of his will. His death at the age of 32 spelled the end of that unity. The story of his conquests is known to many readers, but the saga of the empire's collapse remains virtually untold. Alexander bequeathed his power, legend has it, "to the strongest," leaving behind a mentally damaged half brother and a posthumously born son as his only heirs, who quickly became pawns fought over by the Macedonian generals. Meanwhile, Alexander's former secretary, Eumenes, a man full of tricks and connivances, became the determining factor in the precarious fortunes of the royal family. Classicist James Romm tells the story of the men who followed Alexander and found themselves incapable of preserving his empire--a world formerly united, now ripped apart into a nightmare of warring nation-states struggling for domination, the template of our own times.--From publisher description.
