Once, Theodora was little more than a slave, the daughter of a
bear-keeper, running barefoot through the streets of
Constantinople. Now she is Theoudoron, 'the Gift of God', Empress
of Byzantine Rome and the most powerful woman in the world.
'Hard-nosed, cruel, imaginative, kind, frustrated, generous,
ruthless: Theodora is, in Duffy's hands, a richly paradoxical
character from whom the light of life shines brightly' GUARDIAN In
Stella Duffy's compelling new novel, the beguiling and
extraordinary Empress Theodora emerges from the shadow of history
into brilliant light. Clever, courageous and ruthless when
betrayed, Theodora rules alongside her husband, the Emperor
Justinian - a true love match in a world of political marriages.
But while wars rage on the borders of the Empire, Theodora
discovers that the greatest danger to her reign - and her life -
lies much closer to home. 'Highly enjoyable' SUNDAY TIMES 'A writer
who never lets you down' ALI SMITH
