The story is set in ancient Ephesus, focusing on the life of Saronia, a young slave girl who longs for freedom and explores her identity and fate against the backdrop of divine worship and human intrigue. As Saronia navigates her relationships with prominent figures in Ephesus, including her mistress Venusta and her daughter Nika, the tale unfolds themes of love, ambition, and the quest for self-discovery. The opening of the novel vividly introduces the richly adorned city of Ephesus, emphasizing its grandeur through descriptions of bustling markets and stunning architecture such as the Temple of Diana. We meet Saronia, a dignified slave, who is portrayed with profound sadness and a yearning for a life beyond servitude. As she steps out to purchase goods, her interaction with the world around her hints at the complexities of her existence as well as the tensions brewing between her and Nika, who harbors jealousy and disdain for her. The narrative sets the stage for Saronia's internal struggles and the conflicts that will arise as she seeks sanctuary and understanding of her purpose amidst the cacophony of life shaped by both divine and human forces.
