A doggedly determined Sofia Papandréou pursues evidence for women in leadership in early Christianity in the dusty corners of libraries, long ignored. Or worse, actively hidden away to deny women their heritage as leaders. Hot on the trail of the lost letters of Deacon Olympias, an important leader in Fourth Century Constantinople, Sofia stumbles onto two parchments that even she finds incredible. Sofia's quest to authenticate the documents soon involves her in a perilous journey that leads to theft, murder, unexpected allies, and attempted murder as her discoveries threaten to transform the revealed history of Christianity.
