Io has always thought of herself as a layperson: not wealthy, brilliant or in any way dangerous, imprisoned for failing to pay off an old family debt. Not important or special, except perhaps for an amiable prison guard. Then Sigma Parthenos, a stranger more mystery than woman, shatters everything she thought she knew. Something is rising from the shadows, alleys and temples of the Neo-Hellenic Empire, a crescent moon of hope on the horizon, and Io must make a choice: leave her life behind, or forever destroy everything Sigma stands for. Every shred of hope.
