Ghost Emperor

<p>When Alexander the Great's body began to rot so did the world that believed in him. The empire did not fall; it dissolved-from loyalty into appetite from divinity into rumor. Babylon became a crucible where ambition grief and faith melted together and could no longer be separated.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Ashes of Empire: Ghost Emperor</em></strong> is the first volume in a cycle that follows that dissolution. It inhabits the moment when generals became kings widows became conspirators and every act of devotion turned violent. The body of the god-king is both relic and weapon; the struggle to bury him is the struggle to define what remains of humanity.</p><p></p><p>This is not historical reconstruction. It is myth under autopsy-a study of how civilizations die and what stories they invent to feel immortal. Every scene every betrayal is drawn from the record but rendered as fever dream: grief made policy ritual made war.</p><p></p><p>History ends here not with prophecy but with echo-a sound of empires learning how to beg for meaning.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Ghost Emperor</em></strong> is that echo caught in fire.</p>
