In the treacherous corridors of 8th-century Constantinople, where power is won through cunning and ambition, a young woman is destined to shape the fate of an empire. 
Seventeen-year-old Thekla, fierce and relentless, has been abandoned at the altar for the third time.

Here, intrigue and betrayal lurk in every shadow, and survival demands more than mere determination.

In this high-security prison, escape is not an option for those who value their lives. The facility is fortified with cutting-edge technology and relentless security measures, designed to ensure that no one can breach its walls. Even if an inmate manages to find a way out, the harsh environment and constant surveillance beyond the perimeter make survival impossible. This is a place where hope of freedom is extinguished, and the only certainty is that anyone who dares to escape will not survive. The prison's reputation for absolute containment and its unforgiving surroundings serve as a stark warning: any attempt at freedom is a perilous journey with no promise of life beyond these walls.
