The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of religious tension in Alexandria as followers of the idol Serapis grapple with impending doom from the city's Christian authorities. It primarily follows the character Dada as she navigates her fears and relationships amid the societal turmoil and the potential downfall of the Serapeum, a significant temple in the city.  The opening of the novel introduces the character Dada, who enjoys a day at Medius's house filled with costumes, children, and trivial domestic disputes. This initial lightheartedness is shattered by alarming news of riots and the arrival of Cynegius's forces, intent on overthrowing Serapis. Medius is deeply affected by the news, revealing anxiety about the destruction that might ensue, while Dada feels an aversion towards her host's family. As the tension escalates, Dada longs to return to her loved ones amidst the chaos. This opening effectively sets the stage for the themes of impending disaster, religious conflict, and the personal struggles of the characters caught in the crossfire.
