On a November night in Egypt, 414 A.D., one of history's most
brilliant individuals was assassinated. Her name was Hypatia,
teacher and scientist at the fabled Great Library of Alexandria and
the last glimmer of hope before the Dark Ages. The Roman Empire is
crumbling, the fragments of the classical world regrouping in Egypt
when Thasos, son of an ill-fated scholar, meets Hypatia of
Alexandria. Astronomer, mathematician, and philosopher at a time
when women were shunned from learning, Hypatia is a daring
visionary in a world about to change forever. As an insidious
power-struggle erupts between church and state Hypatia finds
herself at the forefront of battle, but she is not alone. Those who
cherish her, who will remember her, become her allies - including
the powerful Governor Orestes, who keeps his consuming love for her
as secret as she keeps her feelings for him. Lady Philosopher: The
Story of Hypatia is a vivid retelling of a now-forgotten historical
tragedy, when courage stood against fear, when the legacy of the
wise vanished in the dark. Author Brian Trent resurrects the
ancient world's most famous metropolis and explores the final days,
not just of a brilliant mind, but of a lost era. BASED ON THE TRUE
STORY
