520 $aThis historical novel recreates the life of Mani (216-274 C.E.), the Persian mystic who founded the Manichaean religion and was eventually executed on the grounds of heresy. His teachings were a synthesis of Gnostic Christian beliefs, ancient Persian Zoroastrianism, Buddhim and some paga elements. Forced, from the age of five to his mid-20s, to stay among the sadistic white-clad Brethren of his father's repressive religious community, the Parthian prophet begins to develop his own system of belief. After he escaped, Mani sailed to India, wining many converts and returned home to become protege and counsel to open-minded Persian King Shapur I. Shapur's beset with warmongering Zoroastrian priests who want to impose fire worship on the whole empire. But it is his treacherous son's succession to the throne that sounds Mani's death knell.
