J'ai tué Philippe II de Macédoine #[nn]

From Vents d'Ouest's historical "J'ai tué" series, this 2015 volume from Isabelle Dethan turns its unflinching eye on the court of Philip II of Macedon. The cover sets a moody, blood-red tone: a seated woman in classical robes cradles a child while ancient Macedonian soldiers stand guard in the background, their silhouettes framed by a looming shadow that hints at intrigue and danger close to the throne. Fans of richly atmospheric ancient-world storytelling will find this an inviting entry point into one of antiquity's most dramatic royal households.
