    About this ebook

    Pamprepius, a Greek of Egyptian Panopolis, is born to watch the world he loves slowly dying. With the old gods and traditions of his people being replaced by the new faith of Christianity, the future seems dark. After making a name as a great poet and finding fame hollow, he sets out to save the faith of his fathers and learns at last what it means to truly believe in the light of the gods.
