Favorite foal of the House of Maniakhs: Chen Master

Byzantium of the VIII century. The era of iconocraticism. Emperor Konstantin Grimit of external enemies – Arabs and Bulgarians, restoring the former greatness of the country, and ruthlessly straightens out with the internal – Orthodox defenders of icons, especially monks. It is not the best time to be in a great city, turning brutal soldiers into the arena of mass bloody reprisals. But right now, a mysterious Sogdian Nanidat Maniach appears in Constantinople. A warrior and healer, a merchant and a spy, he plunges with his head into a storm of Byzantine civil war. And the only thing he can find a support so as not to break into the abyss is the heart of a woman’s wise.
