โฆ Synopsis
In the golden city of Sarantium, the renowned mosaicist Crispin seeks to fulfill his artistic ambitions and his destiny high upon a dome intended to be the emperor's enduring sanctuary and legacy.
But the beauty and solitude of his work cannot protect him from the dangerous intrigues of a court and cit that swirl with rumors of war and conspiracy, while otherworldly fires mysteriously flicker and disappear in the streets at night. The emperor is plotting a conquest of Crispin's homeland to regain an empire, and because Crispin's fate is entwined with that of his royal benefactor, his loyalties come at a very high price.
And another voyager has arrived in the imperial city: Rustem of Kerakek, a physician from an eastern desert kingdom who is determined to find his own fate amid the shifting, treacherous currents of passion and violence that define Sarantium.
