Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
On the shores of the Black Sea, at the outermost edge of the empire, the poet Ovid - taking a break from the faction-riddled rivalries of Rome - encounters an almost otherworldly woman who seems to embody the fictitious creations of his soon-to-be-published Metamorphoses. Part healer, part witch, she seems myth come to life. Enchanted and obsessed, Ovid returns to Rome with her, flush with inspiration. Xenia will be the model for his masterpiece. But the city is a hot bed of jealousies and soon the inexorable pull of ambition leads him to make a Faustian bargain with fate that will betray his newfound muse and catapult them both toward a reversal he never plotted.
