Ode To Belladonna Brent Hightower

Ode To Belladonna is the story of the last surviving scholar of the Academy at Athens, whose single moral failing draw him into the major events of his age and into deadly conflict with Theodora, Empress of Byzantium. It is a tale of love and hatred, ignorance and enlightenment, and of the eternal battle between freedom and the human obsession with power and domination. Set fifteen hundred years ago, in Byzantium, the events bear a startling resemblance to those of our own time.
