At the heart of a war tearing the Greek world apart, two figures move through the wreckage of crumbled oaths and forgotten gods: Cadmus, an exile haunted by a past drenched in blood and silence, and Roxana, a woman foreign to every tongue, shaped by losses too vast for verse. Fate drives them forward through shattered marble halls, past ruined temples and councils where even truth must bargain for allegiance. Athens bleeds. Sparta marches. And the gods—if they’re still watching—have likely turned their backs. Between the savagery of military campaigns and the slow poison of political deceit, Cadmus and Roxana fight to keep a flicker of dignity alive, even when everything around them demands surrender. Beneath the Veil of Night is a work of fiction rooted in the real: a story where the dust of history mingles with the shadows of myth. It''''s not a tale of heroes crowned in marble, but of those left at the edges of epic—whose choices, quiet and fraught, end up shaping the very outline of what we dare to call civilization.
