Set against the backdrop of Alexandria in the early 4th century, the narrative explores themes of cultural conflict and the tension between pagan traditions and rising Christianity. The story likely delves into the nuanced lives of its characters as they navigate these societal upheavals during a time marked by religious strife. The plot follows Karnis, a wandering musician, and his family as they seek to establish themselves in Alexandria after enduring tragedy at the hands of pirates. Karnis is accompanied by his wife Herse and their children, including the talented but hesitant Agne. The family encounters various characters, including Porphyrius, a wealthy merchant, and his daughter Gorgo, who becomes interested in Agne's vocal talents. However, the looming presence of Bishop Theophilus and an edict prohibiting public performances by young maidens create tension and uncertainty. As Karnis and his family aspire to revive their artistic and musical legacy amidst cultural and religious oppression, they find themselves caught in a web of ambitions, conflicts, and the potential for both personal and spiritual redemption. The intricate dynamics of love, faith, and artistry unfold as the characters confront their fates in a changing world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
