Year 6047 since the Creation of the World. Justinian, a Latin-speaking young provincial of humble origin, ascends the throne of the empire as king of kings, with Augusta and former luxury courtesan Theodora by his side. He promises the rebirth of New Rome and a new world of peace and justice. People welcome him like a shining star, pray in his name, and believe he is a saint and equal-to-the-apostles.
The jurist Procopius arrives in Constantinople and takes up duties as advisor to General Belisarius. He enters the inner sanctums of the Great Palace, where he will face a reality that few dare to admit.
The Nika Revolt shatters the City. Deadly campaigns bring great conquests, which, however, prove temporary. New laws modernize Roman law but erase the ancient. The Hagia Sophia rises as a symbol of faith, yet the emperor exclaims: "You have conquered, Solomon!"
A plague epidemic devastates the City. A black cloud darkens the world for a year. An earthquake collapses the dome of Hagia Sophia. Elders whisper about the "fifth seal," while ascetics in the mountains see visions of black riders. And a holy hermit sees the Beast in the emperor's face. The Apocalypse is coming.
Procopius investigates and records. Where is the truth and where the myth?
"A masterful epic story and an allegory for our troubled times and the end of days." – Nikos Varalis, journalist
