Arachne — Volume 07

In the tense corridors of an ancient palace, a blind sculptor and his scholarly companion are seized in a sudden raid by Macedonian soldiers. Mistaken for conspirators, they are thrust toward a grim prison meant for condemned men, their fate hanging on a single, desperate moment. As the iron cuffs click shut, a familiar voice—beloved Daphne—pierces the chaos, pleading for mercy and demanding an audience with the commanding officer.

Daphne’s bold appeal forces the soldiers to pause, and the arrival of a senior commander shifts the balance of power. The captives are released, but the encounter leaves lingering questions about the true motives behind the raid and the dangerous path that led them there. Listeners are drawn into a world of intrigue, loyalty, and the thin line between art and survival, eager to discover how the characters will navigate the treacherous politics that surround them.
