The book centers around the life of Emperor Hadrian during his reign, focusing on his reflections, travels, and the interplay of personal relationships, now particularly highlighting the bond between Hadrian and his favorite Antinous amidst the backdrop of the Roman Empire’s influence on Egypt and its cultures. The opening of the novel introduces a vivid landscape as the sun rises above Mount Kasius, setting the scene for the story of Emperor Hadrian. As he embarks on a journey, the narrative unveils the natural beauty around him and the people he encounters. Included are intriguing characters such as a young girl besotted with Hadrian, who is indicated to be a significant figure in his life. We also get a glimpse of Hadrian's relationships with his entourage, particularly Antinous, showcasing their conversational exchanges about longing, beauty, and the human experience.
