Cramp is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in ancient Rome around 23 A.D., primarily focusing on the lives of a young boy named Gannon, his family, and the intricate relationships they navigate amid political intrigue and societal expectations. Gannon, a promising youth with aspirations of advancement, becomes entangled in a web of secrets involving powerful figures such as Sejanus and Livilla, showcasing themes of ambition, loyalty, and the burdens of knowledge. The opening of "Psyche" presents the reader with a vivid introduction to Gannon's life and the dynamics of his family. Gannon, a seventeen-year-old secretary at the Praetorian Camp, balances his professional responsibilities with dreams of elevating his family's fortunes back in Greece. We learn about his parents, Alcmaeon and Hera, who have respect for Greek culture despite their struggles in Rome, as well as Gannon's sister, Psyche, who is preparing for her marriage to Gyges. As the narrative unfolds, tensions rise with hints of danger and betrayal, particularly surrounding Gannon's alarming discovery of a secret that implicates Livilla and Sejanus, setting the stage for a gripping tale of ambition, love, and dire consequences within the treacherous political landscape of ancient Rome.
