In the wake of Alexandria's imminent fall in 641 CE, The Path of the Four Lions picks up the shattered legacy of the ancient world and carries it across shifting sands, collapsing empires, and into the heart of the unknown. As the Rashidun army descends upon Egypt, Abu Nas'r and the secretive Ahl al-Khidr scatter the fragments of civilization-some to the south, toward Meroë, others west, toward the Siwan desert, and one toward Leptis Magna.

In the wake of Alexandria's imminent fall in 641 CE, The Path of the Four Lions picks up the shattered legacy of the ancient world and carries it across shifting sands, collapsing empires, and into the heart of the unknown. As the Rashidun army descends upon Egypt, Abu Nas'r and the secretive Ahl al-Khidr scatter the fragments of civilization-some to the south, toward Meroë, others west, toward the Siwan desert, and one toward Leptis Magna. Among these, the most sacred burden is the body of Alexander the Great, Dhu al-Qarnayn himself, hidden beneath the city for centuries and now facing destruction or misuse. From the blistering shores of the Red Sea to the echoing catacombs beneath Roman ruins, The Path of the Four Lions is a sweeping historical thriller. Malik, the quiet Nubian scribe, embarks on a harrowing desert passage to restore Alexander to his rightful place of rest. At sea, the scholar-merchant Baruch risks his life assembling a clandestine fleet. And in a sun-bleached present-day excavation in Leptis Magna, three modern archaeologists uncover a mosaic floor hiding the key to a 1,300-year-old mystery. As ancient faiths clash and kingdoms fall, the scattered protectors must act swiftly-before the memory of the ancient world is buried forever. The Path of the Four Lions is the second installment in the Alex Carey series, rich with archaeological detail, religious tension, and philosophical weight. A novel of preservation, sacrifice, and secrecy, it bridges the classical and the contemporary with cinematic precision and emotional power.
