The Sacred Band

The Sacred Band of Thebes lives on, a world away, in this mythic novel 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, the legendary Tempus and his Stepson cavalry rescue twenty-three pairs of Theban Sacred Banders, paired lovers and friends, 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.

@Scar504 - Thanks for the kind words. The purpose of any such video is to create interest and it makes me happy to know that that's what has come through.

@scar504 Great news, scar. let us know how you like it, here or at The Sacred Band on Facebook. We had a great time with it...

[scar504]

I'm getting the book this Christmas, finally! Looking forward to reading it.

Thank you, Latchley! We love how the art works with the music to tell the story. The images are perfect for the Stepsons.

Great Book, and a great video!

[scar504]

@uvmchristine Well he did a great job! To be honest this video is what makes me want to read the book. The story of the sacred band of Thebes in itself is an awe inspiring tale and to mix it with mysticism and lore is assuredly a recipe for success.

Scar 504: The novel IS inspiring, so is the music, to us. But if the video is so, this is because of Zombie Zak from Team ZombieZak: we sent him a large group of quotes and images, and he selected what he liked and put the sequencing together. Zee did two other videos for us: Lawyers in Hell and Heroes in Hell. Each is different, depending on what the book provides. Check them out. JEM

A video worthy of this book: Spectacular images of your favorite characters and some of their best quotes, accompanied by their very own music: The Sacred Band March. Bring home Tempus, Niko, and their Sacred Band from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and everywhere else: in hard cover, trade paperback, and e-books.
