The Isle of Stone : A Novel of Ancient Sparta

With vivid prose and unswerving attention to historical detail, the author of Empire of Ashes spins a tale of two brothers who rise through Spartan society and meet their fate--surrounded by the Athenian navy on the barren island of Sphacteria. During the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, two brothers--Epitadas, the spoiled son of Damatria, and Antalcidas, an honorable and courageous warrior--meet on the battlefield and fulfill their destinies.
