In a quiet village beneath the watchful gaze of the gods, Callia, a gifted mosaic artist, lives a simple life shaped by her craft and solitude. But her world shifts when a mysterious traveler named Lycas arrives, his golden eyes hiding secrets as ancient as the stars. Lycas is no mere wanderer-he is Apollo, the god of light and music, captivated by the mortal woman he knows he cannot have.
As Callia remains unaware of his divine identity, Apollo battles his growing affection for her, watching from afar, drawn to her humanity despite the boundaries between them. When their paths cross again, the encounter reveals that fate has tied them together in ways neither can comprehend.
With the mortal and divine worlds colliding, their story is one of longing, restraint, and forbidden love, as both must confront the cost of a bond that defies the will of the gods.
