About this ebook
He ruled an empire. She ruled him. And on the morning of April 11, 1034, she ruled for the last time.
Constantinople, 1028. A dying emperor. No heir. One desperate command: marry Princess Zoe — or be destroyed.
Romanos Argyros chose survival. He got a crown, a cold marriage, and six years of slow ruin.
While he drained the treasury chasing glory he'd never find, Zoe — locked away, furious, and forgotten — made other plans.
The bathhouse door closed. It never opened again.
Drawing on the eyewitness accounts of chronicler Michael Psellos, this is the unvarnished story of ambition, betrayal, and power behind the palace walls — where the most dangerous intrigues weren't fought on battlefields, but in bedchambers and baths.
The truth has been waiting a thousand years. It's time you heard it.
