A jealous mother-in-law and six conniving step-brothers watch Irini
closely as she weds Emperor Leon. A year later, pregnant, Irini
calls on Thekla, her knife-wielding friend and abbess of an
imperial convent, to bring her sharp wits and courage to
Constantinople and get Irini through childbirth and keep the heir
to the throne alive. But Irini’s powerful ambitions far exceed
being docile wife and mother. Thekla complies with Irini’s demand
for absolute loyalty because she owes Irini her life. But can she
overcome her qualms about Irini’s vengeful nature and survive the
bloody aftermath of Irini’s ruthless ambition?
