Book excerpt: After the death of her husband, Helen and her nine-year-old son Alexander take a trip to Greece. While exploring, they stumble upon the ancient city of Mystras and meet its only resident, Elias. In 1237, Elias's mother promised his eternal service to the Profitis Ilias in Mystras in exchange for surviving a terrible illness. A prophecy hints that Elias's blood is their only hope for a cure. When Elias runs into Helen, he meets his match for the first time - but he unwittingly puts both her and her young son in danger as a result. Author of "The Scribe of Siena." Print run 75,000.
