768 AD. - Young Irene, who comes from a noble Greek family, participates in the pompous "bridal parade"
called by the basileus Constantine V in order to find the future bride of the heir to the Eastern throne, his son Leo.
Against all odds, she will succeed over all the competitors by conquering her future husband, who will
introduce her to the court, changing her life after years of vexation by her own family members.
But neither Leo nor she can imagine what will happen next. Increasingly comfortable in the palace and fascinated by power,
Irene will begin to nurture ambitions far greater than her role as consort to the basileus.
Succumbing to her hunger, she will start an ascent that will remain in history. And that will consign her to posterity
as the first empress of the Romans, alone and unchallenged in power.
At the expense of her enemies, but also of her loved ones.
