  Step into the twilight of Alexandria, where the fall of the Lighthouse and the Great Library ignites an odyssey of knowledge, sacrifice, and redemption. The Last Theorem of Hypatia is an immersive historical audiobook that intertwines the decay of a city under siege with the mysticism of Hellenistic philosophy, tracing the fates of three souls bound by a mechanical star map that holds the essence of a lost era. 
  Through vivid prose and rich sensory detail, listeners are plunged into Alexandria’s collapse in 642 CE: the shattering of bronze mirrors, the echoes of Coptic chants reverberating through dusty ruins, and the relentless pulse of an artifact that could either save or bury its legacy. Meet Nazanine of Ctesiphon, a scholar obsessed with preserving Hypatia’s wisdom; Kassander of Thessalonica, a scarred mercenary driven by hatred for academics yet drawn to the chaos’s gold; and Papo, a blind monk whose faith and prophecies guide his path to redemption. 
  From the fractured mirror chamber of the Lighthouse to the buried depths of the Library, where ancient gears awaken and traps guard forgotten secrets, this epic narrative explores the cost of conquest, the power of knowledge, and the fragile hope of rebirth. Blending meticulous historical detail with the enchantment of Alexandrian lore, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a gripping journey through a world on the brink—where the past murmurs in spirals, the present trembles, and the future hinges on an uncertain dawn. 
  Perfect for fans of historical fiction, ancient philosophy, and tales of destiny and sacrifice, this audiobook transports you to the heart of 7th-century Egypt—a land of scholars, warriors, and beacons where every decision resonates through time. Narrated with passion and depth, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a haunting tribute to a lost civilization and the souls who bear its light.

  The Detective has been a mainstay of fiction writing ever since we can remember.   
  Their deductive powers, their intuition and fleet-footed grasp of every detail can often turn the unlikeliest situation, or bunch of red herrings, into a breakthrough to capture even the most ingenious and dastardly of criminals. 
  In this series our classic authors explore not only various themes, such as Occult Detectives, Female Detectives, Curious Crimes and a whole host more, but also bring a range and depth to the whole culture of criminality as we send in the Long Arm of the Law to bring justice on behalf of the society it serves. 
  In this volume our sleuths are all Female Detectives who solve crimes in ways that are familiar and yet refreshingly new.
