A novel by Jerry Autieri
He survived the war. Now, he must survive the peace.
Kallias is a man of two worlds: a battle-tested hoplite and a master sculptor. After surviving the Persian invasion, he returns to the wreckage of Athens, ready to exchange his spear for a chisel. A prodigy of his craft, Kallias sees the ruin of his city as a chance to lead a cultural rebirth.
Life, it seems, is full of hope. With a devoted wife, a young daughter, and a workshop that miraculously escaped the torch, Kallias stands at the precipice of greatness.
Yet one night of celebration with a former brother-in-arms spirals into a catastrophe that shatters Kallias’s world.
Cast into a landscape still scarred by war and teeming with desperate men, Kallias must navigate a path through suffering and betrayal. To protect his family and his legacy, the sculptor must rediscover the warrior within.
