Author: Aliki Kafetzopolou

Diamonds on the Bosphorus-an historical novel for young people- is the story of the choice made by Christians throughout the centuries: to follow the path of Christ or the path of worldly glory.

Nicephorus and his twin sister, Juliana, have dwelt their entire lives in the shadow of Constantinople on the shores of the Bosphorus. As the children of the pious fisherman Theodotus, they have been raised in the Christian virtues. Their greatest joy is to hear the preaching of St. John Chysostom.

On the verge of becoming adults, the twins have their lives turned upside-down with the revelation of their true identities. Suddenly, the paths of these simple fishers have become irreversibly intertwined with intrigue in the imperial court and the persecutions raised against St. John.
