Novel synopsis:

The dying embers of Ancient Greece burn with new vigor in late 9th Century Byzantium as Empresses rise to power, Iconoclasts are routed, the wild Slavs take on the yoke of civilization, Christians and Muslims are locked in conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the lies on which the Papacy is based crack the very foundation of the Church.
