Alexander's Silence

About this book

In Alexandria during the third decade BCE, military defeat has become an effort to erase memory. Natorius, a young Alexandrian scribe, wonders whether civilizations are defeated by swords or by neglect and the forgetting of letters. His path crosses that of Liviana, a woman of Roman blood formed by the streets of Egypt, and together they create a quiet resistance based on paper, language, and remembrance. As imperial orders tighten around the city, they must choose between the safety of silence and the survival of truth. Alexander's Silence is a historical novel about identity, occupation, and the memory a city hides beneath its ancient sea.
