The Last Myth of Alexandria

It is the year 415. When the gods fall silent and the world turns its back on wisdom, a single act of hope sets a new journey in motion. In Athens, a father entrusts his daughter Helen to the fading city of Alexandria, desperate that she might find, and perhaps rekindle, the last embers of true knowledge. Arriving in a city haunted by the ruins of its library and the shadow of religious violence, Helen is drawn into the secret circle of Hypatia—the philosopher whose teachings defy the rising tide of intolerance. Under Hypatia’s guidance, Helen joins a diverse group of disciples, each carrying their own scars and longing for meaning, as they seek to preserve the light of Sophia against the encroaching darkness. But Cyril, the city’s ambitious archbishop, is determined to stamp out the last traces of pagan thought, and his zealotry threatens to consume all who resist. In the gathering storm, Helen must decide what she is willing to risk for wisdom, and whether the fragile spark she carries can survive the world’s relentless hunger for certainty.The last myth of Alexandria is a sweeping tale of faith, loss, and the quiet courage required to keep the flame of knowledge alive when the night seems endless.
