Quinta entrega de la brillante y monumental saga Tirano, que narra el épico asedio de la isla de Rodas en el año 305 a.C. Una novela ambientada en la mayor guerra de la historia de la humanidad. Hacia 305 a.C., dos hombres se enfrentaron por la hegemonia del Mediterraneo: Tolomeo, señor de Egipto, y Antigono el Tuerto, señor de Asia. Y, entre ambos, la estrategica isla de Rodas y la ciudad fortificada del mismo nombre, que ninguno podia permitirse ceder al enemigo. Para Demetrio, el inteligente aunque jactancioso hijo de Antigono, Rodas era una presa que debia tomarse a toda costa. Rodeada por su poderosa flota, con su ejercito acampado ante las murallas y las mas ingeniosas maquinas de sitio jamas construidas apuntando hacia ella, la ciudad parecia condenada a sucumbir. Pero atrapado tras sus murallas habia un hombre resuelto a salvarla de la destruccion. Un hombre con la valentia y la vision para volver las tornas contra Demetrio y su abrumador poderio militar. Un hombre que, apoyado por sus amigos mas intimos y la mujer a quien ama, sencillamente no puede permitirse fracasar. Un hombre llamado Satiro.
