In the glittering halls of sixth-century Constantinople, an ancient temple burns - and with it, a dark prophecy is set in motion. Justinian, nephew to the aging Emperor Justin, finds himself thrust into a deadly game of power where noble blood means everything and his common birth marks him for destruction. At his side stands Theodora, a former actress whose wit and beauty make her as many enemies as allies. Together, they must navigate a court where every smile hides treachery and every friend could be an assassin. As shadowy forces gather against them, Justinian builds an unlikely alliance: Belisarius, a brilliant young general from the empire's savage frontier; John of Cappadocia, whose brutal efficiency keeps the empire running; and Magnus Aurelius, an ancient noble whose measured counsel masks unknown ambitions. But in the dark forests beyond Constantinople's walls, an otherworldly power stirs. The Shadow Master's warning echoes through time: "That which is sanctified, once desecrated, demands its price in full." Path to Power begins an epic saga of ambition, love, and betrayal, where the fate of an empire hangs on the choices of those who would rule it - and the price they're willing to pay for power.
