The Grecian Daughter

Three days without food, and King Evander still lives—somewhere in a dungeon carved into a cliff above the sea. Euphrasia has stayed in Syracuse; her husband and infant are gone.

Ancient Syracuse is besieged: Greek forces press against the city while the usurper Dionysius clings to power. Melanthon begs for access to Evander, but the king is hidden away, starved and near death. Euphrasia, who chose to remain rather than abandon her imprisoned father, still hopes the coming victory will restore him to his throne. Yet the tyrant’s guards stand between her and the dungeon, and the battle outside grows more desperate by the hour. How far can a daughter’s devotion carry her when both the prison and the city are closing in?
