The beautiful Flavia, a devout Christian who grew up with a life of privilege is thrown together with Rex, a tough soldier who believes there is no difference between Christianity, and the worship of the old gods.
The Roman church wants the two of them to journey to Emperor Constantine and get his permission, along with financing, to build churches and have an official book of scripture printed. While trying to do that, they will face many dangers and hardships including beatings, kidnapping, death attempts, jail time and take part in a war.This epic, sweeping tale takes place in the early AD 300’s just as the old Roman empire is about to become Christian. Constantine’s rule is challenged by those who want to replace him. It is a dangerous time with much unrest in both the government and the church.
The Gnostics want their heretical teachings of Christianity, along with their books and worship practices to be the norm. They will stop at nothing to achieve it–including paying spies, influencing priests to take their side, and hiring a murderous mercenary who has a vicious snake tattoo on his forehead.
This exciting story has Flavia and Rex in one dire situation after another, but their biggest downfall may be each other. Although this is the second installment in a series, this story stands on its own. Be aware that although clean, there are some adult situations so recommend this for older teens and adults. Fans of action or historical tales will enjoy this five-star book.
