About This Book

A blind sculptor who has accepted public credit for a deceased colleague's work confronts arrest and possible execution, yet is saved when a young woman secures his release through a military commander. During their brief confinement a mutual attachment deepens, and the sculptor resolves to reveal the truth to his peers and reclaim artistic integrity. The narrative traces his psychological struggle between conscience and reputation, the risks of deception, and themes of love, sacrifice, restoration of honor, and the symbolic yearning for sight and creative redemption.
