Inspirational Historical
In the bloody clash between Christians and pagans in
fifth-century Alexandria, a servant girl becomes the last
hope for preserving peace in this evocative and thrilling
tale—a blend of history, adventure, religion, romance, and
mysticism reminiscent of The Mists of Avalon. After she is abducted from her home in the mountains of
Sinai, Hannah is enslaved and taken to Alexandria, where she
becomes the property of Alizar, an alchemist and pagan
secretly working to preserve his culture. Revered for her
beautiful singing voice, the young slave is invited to
perform at the city's Great Library, where she becomes
friends with the revered mathematician and philosopher,
Hypatia, as well as other pagans who curate its magnificent
collections. Determined to help them uphold pagan culture
and traditions, Hannah embarks on a dangerous quest to unite
the fractured pieces of the Emerald Tablet—the last hope to
save the pagans and create peace. On this odyssey that leads her to the lost oracles of Delfi
and Amun-Ra and to rediscovered ancient cities and rituals,
Hannah will experience forbidden loves, painful betrayals,
and poignant reunions. But her efforts may be in vain.
Returning to Alexandria, Hannah finds a city engulfed in
violence, even as her own romantic entanglements come to a
head. Now, it's not only her future, but the fate of all
Alexandria that is at stake.
