"Young Conquerors" is a novel of Alexander the Great (Alexandros o Megas), but told from the first-person perspective of Hephaestion in the vein of "The Song of Achilles," and while most novels of Alexandros follow his later accomplishments in Asia (conquering the entire world without ever losing a battle), "Young Conquerors" instead focuses on Alexandros' early and teenage years and shows how a small, undersized boy from the backwaters of Greece, who was never meant to be king, is shaped and formed into someone who later goes on to become the greatest conqueror the world has ever seen, all told from the perspective of the one who knew him best. Also, and perhaps most importantly, "Young Conquerors" aims to do the same for Hephaestion and Alexandros that "The Song of Achilles" did for Achilleus and Patroklos, by being a bold re-telling of a famous story, explored from a perspective that hasn't yet been explored, and that gives them the love story they've been denied in all other things written about them, which has covered up both who and how they loved.
