    Summary

    Athens, 400 BCE. Harith—called Harry—survives the destruction of his Persian town only to be enslaved and gifted to Severus, a reclusive Sophist who never asked for companionship. Severus keeps the beautiful young slave at arm's length, buried in his studies and solitude.

    But Harry is more than ornamental: he's intelligent, observant, and learning Greek faster than Severus realizes. When Severus finally notices the mind behind those dark eyes, the careful distance between master and slave begins to crumble.
