Publisher's Synopsis
Callatis, the capital city of Cardea
Once a port city in the Aurellian Empire, Callatis is now the capital of a thriving republic-a hub of art, culture, schemes for power, and the carnal sport of the gladiators.
As the Summer Solstice celebrations begin, Hammond Thorinson struggles to maintain his social position, while avoiding family scandal. The ambitious Richard Galloborne prepares for a ball, and an announcement to impress. While strong-willed heiress Runa Sorensen finds her head unexpectedly turned.
Their stories layer and interweave in a sprawling, unashamedly romantic introduction to Callatis. A place where magic is real, love is true, and dreams are meant to be chased.
