  In this explosive final installment of the Empress Irini Series, the ruthless and cunning Irini of Athens stops at nothing to claim ultimate power in the treacherous world of 8th-century Byzantium. 
  After regaining the throne, Irini ensnares Constantine in a web of deceit, convincing him to divorce Maria and banishing his wife and daughters to Abbess Thekla’s island convent—where Maria slowly descends into madness. But Irini’s thirst for dominance knows no bounds. 
  Manipulating Constantine into turning against the soldiers who once betrayed her, she ignites a brutal civil war, plunging the empire into chaos—army against army, mother against son. As the battle rages, Irini orchestrates a final, ruthless strike, capturing Constantine and leaving him blinded and powerless. 
  Even as she seizes the throne for herself, one question remains: will Abbess Thekla, her former ally, stand by her side—or become the force that finally brings her down?

In each instance the question of race tears at the fabric of American society. Ultimately, bitter recriminations lead to secession and war in book two, FIRE-EATERS.
