This was the foray the Riddler intended, after all. When Niko had briefed Critias and Straton, they’d stared at him in disbelief. But they would implement his orders. He was the Riddler’s right-side partner; his word bound the Band like law while their commander lay abed.
Ignoring deeper wounds (his own, his seasoned fighters’) that needed tending, he called the three youngest Stepsons out of their barracks and told them they were lucky to be alive, dressing them down savagely for not holding steady in the ranks. Their eyes, wide and shocky; their faces, cut and bruised; their hands, trembling, told him they’d learned something on the Chaeronean battleplain. What they’d learned was nowhere near enough. These three Bandaran-trained youths were his responsibility; he couldn’t leave them to their own devices. He’d sponsored them, first on Bandara with the secular adepts, and now in Tempus’s Sacred Band.
So he got his best horse and he drilled the trainees on the practice field until the sun set, and had the veteran, Gayle, take over from him then. “All night long,” he told his broad and sturdy Stepson, once a 3rd Commando fighter and among his most studied masters of the crueler arts. “Until they drop in their tracks. And tomorrow, all day long. I want them disciplined.”
And he left, wishing he could find something to hack to pieces.
BLURB:
The Sacred Band of Thebes lives on, a world away, in this mythic epic of love in war in ancient times.
In 338 BCE, during the Battle of Chaeronea that results in the massacre of the Sacred Band of Thebes, Tempus and his Stepson cavalry rescue twenty three pairs of Theban Sacred Banders, paired brothers and lovers, to fight on other days. These forty-six Thebans, whose bones will never lie in the mass grave that holds their two hundred and fifty-four brothers, join with the immortalized Tempus and his Sacred Band of Stepsons, consummate ancient cavalry fighters, to make new lives in a faraway land and fight the battle of their dreams where gods walk the earth, ghosts take the field, and the angry Fates demand their due.
