The young Spartan soldier Erasmos is in love for the very first time. Strong-willed, pensive and passionate, he is not the archetypical Spartan warrior who believes that death in battle is the pinnacle of a life well lived. His feelings for a woman change that.
Considered by all as Sparta’s most beautiful woman, Amara is absolutely impeccable. She embodies every Spartan ideal and believes in loving death's ink-black shadow as much as the light of dawn. The herculean Erasmos is that light she so covets.
Sparta is no place for romance; there is no time for dreaming for it is a place forged in the furnace of steel and blood. Only a day remains before the Spartan King Leonidas departs for the Hot Gates at Thermopylae with his famous 300 to face the Persian hordes. Unwittingly, Amara and Erasmos find themselves caught in between a conflict of empires that will change the course of history and their lives with it.
This is a historical romance set in Sparta, a city-state of ancient Greece.
