Inhaltsangabe

Ambition, intrigue, treachery, murder-another Byzantine mystery... 548 CE, Constantinople. The emperor Justinian, distraught from the death of his wife Theodora, has exiled John, the Lord Chamberlain. Soon after, an Egyptian magician tries to raise the empress from the dead. The unholy ceremony goes awry, and in the aftermath, supposed demons vanish into the night along with one of the city's holiest relics. Felix, Captain of the Palace Guard, is selected as John's successor and charged with recovering the artifact. But it seems as if half the city wants to possess the relic, see Felix dead-or both. Worse still, Felix's friend, the shrewd John, has already sailed for Greece. Now Felix enters a fight for his very survival, a crucible in which he cannot cannot tell friend from foe-or worldly dangers from the supernatural. The husband and wife team of Mary Reed and Eric Mayer co-author the award-winning John, Lord Chamberlain, historical mysteries set in 6th century Byzantium. http: //home.earthlink.net/ maywrite/
