Description
In A.D. 412 Alexandria, against the backdrop of a city torn by religious and political strife, Selene struggles to achieve her dream of becoming a physician-an unlikely goal for an upper class Christian girl. Hypatia, the famed Lady Philosopher of Alexandria and the Prefect Orestes offer their patronage and protection. But will it be enough to save Selene from murderous riots, the machinations of a charismatic bishop and-most dangerous of all-her own impulsive nature? "Readers will be captivated [by] wonderfully researched, vividly evoked, good old-fashioned storytelling." -The Historical Novel Society "This book is outstanding!"-Lacuna: Journal of Historical Fiction "Does what historical fiction does best-weave historical fact, real-life historical figures, and attention to detail with page-turning, plot-driven fiction."-The Copperfield Review
