Alexander's Dream

Dreaming makes everything possible. The night before the prophetess at Didyma promises Alexander the Great that he will be Lord of Asia, he has a dream that stays with him for the rest of his life. When Matt visits Turkey’s Lycian coast on holiday with his parents, he has no idea that he is treading in Alexander’s footsteps from more than two thousand years ago. While his mother tries to persuade his father of the benefits of a cultural itinerary, Matt makes friends with Ali, whose father has been posted here from Istanbul. Together they conduct an illicit archaeological dig in an abandoned garden. Increasingly, Matt experiences time collapsing in on itself. Like a piece of paper being folded again and again, first one way, then another. It seems that, once again, this coast is living up to its reputation as the most haunted and most magical in the world.
