?The Fracture of Light

The Fracture of Light follows Lucas, a young monk from Carthage, as he wanders the fifth-century Mediterranean world searching for the true meaning of faith. Witnessing the fall of Rome, the murder of the philosopher Hypatia, the bitter councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, and the terror of Attila's invasion, he discovers that faith lives not in theological declarations but in the faces of ordinary people — a mother praying over a dying child, a desert hermit who strips away every pretense, an old philosopher who never stops asking questions.
