Rukhsana Mireille Mardaga-Campbell eBook
In a remote corner of the steppe, the thunder of hooves shakes the earth. The clans are at war. Rukshana is the sole survivor of an attack on her camp, and loses more than her loved ones and her land. She is only eight and she has lost her childhood.
History remembers Alexander as a great conqueror, but his wife, like her name ‘Little Light’, is only a flutter in the vastness of memory. Rukhsana, was a leader, a lover and a mother, and to save her loved ones, she dared challenging the gods and the destiny they had written into history for her.

Alexander The Great Bust
Alexander The Great Bust
This novel takes the sparse story of Roxana, Alexander the Great's wife, and gives the reader a picture of a woman of purpose and strength, who suffers the problems of being the wife of a driven egomaniac. She begins by vowing to destroy him, but her love for him, in the end, leads her to protect him. The author has developed this maturing of the central character very competently and believably.
This novel, unfortunately, is greatly marred by poor proof-reading and editing, resulting in numerous spelling, grammatical and idiomatic errors. Some sentence construction is poor with additional words entered inappropriately. Some care taken with the final presentation would have removed my intense irritation while reading an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable and well researched and well constructed novel. Do not let this criticism of mine prevent any prospective reader from buying this novel and immersing oneself in the remarkable story of Rukhsana.
but Rukhsana was the only wife that Alexander the Great ever had....

man in history, was Alexander the Great. His father was the King of Macedonia. Alexander
