Dike is Callistus’s domineering father and the shadow that looms over his son’s life. Once denied the honour of becoming the high priest, he was forced to serve in a lesser role — a humiliation that has fueled years of resentment. Determined to see his son claim the title that eluded him, Dike is willing to go to any length to secure that legacy. From manipulating the selection process to orchestrating the downfall of others, his ambition and ruthlessness reveal the dark depths of power and pride within The Low Priest.
