Aristotle's strong-willed daughter shapes her own destiny in this captivating novel by the award-winning author of The Golden Mean. Aristotle has never been able to resist a keen mind, and Pythias is certainly her father's daughter: besting his brightest students and refusing a life circumscribed by the kitchen, the loom, and a husband. At first she is protected by her adored father's reputation, but with the death of Alexander the Great, her fortunes change. Forced to flee Athens and then orphaned, Pythias discovers that the world is not a place of logic after all, but one ruled by superstition. As threats close in on her she will need every ounce of wit she possesses-and the courage to seek refuge where she least expects it.
