Description: "Every generation has its military genius. Hannibal of Carthage, Ghengis Khan, General Patton... each shaped by his time. What if the second coming of Alexander the Great wasn't a privileged diplomat or a battle-hardened soldier, but a teenage girl from South Central L.A.  named Destiny? Orphaned at birth and a perpetual victim of police brutality, this incomparable strategic genius finds herself uniting the city's organized criminals, gangs, thieves, and thugs, turning them against a corrupt system. Representing an unparalleled threat, Destiny incurs the wrath of the LAPD, the National Guard and a lone detective determined to uncover her true origin-- before her war for justice engulfs the entire country"--Page 4 of cover.
