Ode To Belladonna
Brent Hightower
ASIN: B00GJOWA4U
Publisher: Brent Hightower, through Kindle Books
Pages: 216

Ode To Belladonna is the story of Simplicious, the last surviving scholar of the Academy at Athens, whose attraction to philosophy and single moral failing draw him into the major events of his age, and into deadly conflict with Theodora, Empress of Byzantium. It is a tale of love and hatred, ignorance and enlightenment, and of the battle between freedom and an all consuming obsession with power and domination. Set fifteen hundred years ago in fabled Byzantium, the events bear a striking resemblance to those of our own time, revealing the tenuous nature of freedom and the terrible consequences of its loss.
