Theodora’s life was laid out for her generations before she was born. She would act on the stage until she was no longer beautiful enough and birth daughters who would do exactly as she had. Then, Theodora makes a decision to pursue freedom far from Constantinople. She runs from her fate and stumbles into the arms of the most powerful man in the empire — Emperor Justinian.
But the imperial court is no place for a woman from the lowest rungs of society. She had been legally barred from leaving the theatre or marrying any man of rank. Yet, she left behind a legacy as the champion of the fallen and the mother of the empire.
HOW DID SHE DO IT?

"Li-Lian Ang's carefully researched novel brings the Byzantine Empire of the 6th century to vivid life. Ang has a gift for exploring the emotional depths and personal contradictions behind historical events." - Sonja G. Ostrow, Assistant Professor of Arts & Humanities at Minerva Schools at K.G.I.
"In a world of literature that often leaves women absent, this book fills a gap in the narrative." - Grace Sommers, Goodreads
