A musical journey. Nika means victory.
In the symphony of life, Kassia and Nikephoros long for victory. Their hearts, like stringed instruments, face the music of hardship. Kassia, a former student of Boethius, seeks refuge in Constantinople, the heart of the Byzantine Empire, after Boethius' execution by Theodoric the Great. Her dream of composing music is silenced by an empire which clings fiercely to its own melodies, rejecting any harmonies beyond its walls. She weds Kosmas in hope for a bright future, yet destiny's cruel hand spins her world, barricading her within the confines of the house, trapping her in the chains of sexual slavery. After escaping her loveless cage, she meets Nikephoros, a silk trader, who hides his passion for music from his family, and in his studio, he creates symphonies that weave delicate harmonies.

As Kassia and Nikephoros walk the maze of destiny, their hearts seek freedom. They desperately need a savior to liberate their chained souls.
