“I, Archimedes, the mathematician, son of Phidias, the astronomer, prostrate myself before the goddess of wisdom, Athena. May she restore our people to her favor and see us through the descending storm that looms over our land.

Hieron, the tyrant of Syracuse, stands at a crossroads, torn between the rival empires of Rome and Carthage. His only trusted confidante is his eccentric cousin, Archimedes. However, Hieron's age is catching up with him, and his nobles are engaged in treacherous plots behind his back. In a desperate bid for survival, Hieron turns to Dion, the kingdoms most ruthless warrior.

Surrounded by smiling enemies and the threat of the rival empires, Dion's mental stability begins to unravel. Will he be the savior of the kingdom or its downfall?

The story unfolds in a world of political intrigue, where alliances are formed and broken, and where the fate of nations hangs in the balance. Archimedes, with his brilliant mind and unwavering loyalty, plays a crucial role in shaping the course of events.

As the storm clouds gather, Archimedes and Dion must navigate through a web of treachery and deception, using their wits and cunning to outmaneuver their enemies and protect the kingdom. The fate of Syracuse and the entire world hangs in the balance, and only the smartest and most determined will survive.”
