Fierce tribes of Skythian horsemen have roamed the steppes north of the Black Sea for centuries. Now, with expanding Greek colonial influence in the south and mounting pressure from rivals to the east, the Skythian people face stark choices, asking if — and how — they can hold back the tides of colonialism and inter-tribal warfare. Their king has three ambitious sons, each by different mothers — one Greek, one Thrakian, and one Skythian. One day, their contest for succession will touch off an epic battle, not just for power but for the soul of a people.

Into this chaos comes Anaiti, a young warrior who, for good or ill, will forever alter the fate of the kingdom. The Steppe Saga is the story of her journey.

Set during the fateful reign of Scythian King Ariapeithes (fifth century BCE) and the bloody struggle for succession among his three sons, the trilogy gives voice to the unsung barbarian culture whose real female warriors inspired Greek myths — and fears — about Amazons. Exploring a lost world of astonishing brutality and beauty, The Steppe Saga is a story about the dark paths we must take and the war — or peace — we make with adversity.
