Eusebia, the beautiful Byzantine noblewoman, learns that she is destined to be the wife of Constantius, the new emperor. Secretly in love with her, Julius, her bodyguard, will be shaken when he learns the news. However, the love of the faithful and devoted Melissanthi is for him a refuge and comfort, as he cannot have the woman of his heart. Then, everything suddenly changes. The universe is turned upside down...

The 4th century AD was a critical and simultaneously tragic crossroads for Hellenism. It marks the definitive end of classical antiquity and the beginning of a new era dominated by dynastic and religious conflicts framed by disputes, divisions, heresies, and of course, magic.

Two charismatic figures dominate this era: Eusebia, the beautiful wife of Constantius, and Julian the Great and Philosopher, or Apostate and Transgressor, as his opponents called him... He himself proclaimed that he was simply Greek.

Giorgos Leonardos narrates in his own unique way the fascinating story of an important woman and a truly emblematic era...
