In Alma Alexander's enthralling new novel, Simonis is a woman who lived many lives before growing to the top - a helpless child in circus shows, an completed courtesan and spy, a heretic who sheltered men regarded as damned for what they believed. Emperor Maxentius is the man who adores her enough to drape the Imperial purple over her shoulders even though his whole culture recoils. When he marries Simonis and provides her the name Callidora, he makes her a partner in the ruling of the empire. Once the Empire faces a rebellion that looks unstoppable, Maxentius and his generals are ready to flee the raging mobs. But Callidora announces that the men can do what they need, but she'll not run. The men are shamed into standing up their surface and the Empire survives. Based on the historical heroes of Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora, this is a grand, beautiful, sweeping, utterly memorable vision of already amazing tale.
