Love is like a spell—burning fire, an incurable disease, madness! Exactly such a passion seized Drachont, the commander-in-chief, a noble resident of Corinth, when, onto the deck of his galley, they brought aboard an unfamiliar woman saved from the waves. Tortured by unrequited love, this self-absorbed proud man could not imagine that, like many other men, he was merely a milestone on the path destined for Nicarète of Troy. And this path is led by Aphrodite Pandemos herself, to whose temple Nicarète will have to return a precious relic—and found the famous school of hetaerae in Corinth. This is the first novel in the series “Temple of Aphrodite.” Previously published under the title “Nicarète: Sanctuary of Love.”
