About this title

Synopsis

Mainz in the Age of Gutenberg. In a workshop on the Rhine, an invention is taking shape that could change the order of Europe: for the first time, books can be printed, and knowledge begins to multiply. At this decisive moment Lyana, daughter of Aphrodite, appears, sent to protect the birth of this new world. Amid printing presses, metal type, and the scent of fresh ink, she meets the young printer Peter Schöffer, who senses the power that lies within the written word. But in the shadow of the archbishop's court her old adversary is already at work: Ferratus, son of Mars, determined to bring the new art under control.
