Set in Egypt under the Roman Empire: Christianity is beginning to gain ground, and the violent religious revolts in the streets of Alexandria reach the legendary library. Trapped behind its walls, the astronomer Hypatia fights to save the knowledge of the old  world with the help of two disciples who fight over her heart: Orestes and Davos. The young slave Davos is torn between his love for Hypatia and the freedom he might achieve if he joins the Christians.
