The bond between teacher and student occupies the center of Canadian Lyon\'s debut novel covering the three years during which Aristotle tutored the young Alexander the Great, before Alexander\'s accession to the throne of Macedonia. The philosopher narrates, recounting his arrival in the court of Philip of Macedon, Aristotle\'s upbringing, and his bond with the ruling family. The teenaged Alexander is headstrong and arrogant, but also insecure and vulnerable. \"Every student is both a challenge and a laurel leaf,\" Aristotle says in an early, disputatious meeting. \"I haven\'t seen anything in you that tells me you\'re extraordinary in any way.\" Alexander matures as he absorbs Aristotle\'s core principles. \"You must look for the mean between extremes, the point of balance,\" Aristotle advises the future military genius. Lyon depicts Aristotle\'s desire to instill a sense of virtue in his royal pupil in clear, often earthy language, and brings 4th-century Greece to startling life. Lyon richly imagines Aristotle\'s stint as Macedon\'s royal academician, who gave Alexander the intellectual tools to not only rule but to civilize.
