Life and Death in a Dangerous World!

Mariana and her mother, Hester, are believers in Yeshua, Jesus, and their faith causes them to walk a tightrope. That is because her step-father, Narkis, and step-sister, Prima worship the Roman gods. The two are met with hostility or worse when they try to tell Narkis and Prima about their faith. A story of love, sacrifice, and the quest for power set against the backdrop of ancient Corinth.

Prima is spoiled, mean, and self-centered. She has set her sights to marry the Governor’s son. When she does not get her way, Prima dedicates herself to an idol, giving it expensive sacrifices, including her virtue, believing that will change things. She is not above murder or blackmail to get her way.

Prima hates Mariana and wants to get rid of her. She orchestrates a test to reveal the Christians living in the city, knowing Mariana is one. Prima is sure this will force Mariana to flee town rather than face death by admitting she is a follower of Christ."Hunt's vast biblical knowledge shines through on every page"-Tamera Alexander, bestselling author

What happens next is not what she expected.

This story will pull you into the lives of first century, upper class Romans. Food, parties, and dress are over-the-top, while the people themselves are often cruel, especially to the slaves who make their lifestyle possible.“A heart-tugging story that touched me deeply.”—Patricia H., Amazon reviewer

The story is clean despite some of the subject matter. There is a lot of suspense, and the tale is very engaging, but it ends abruptly on a cliffhanger, and for that reason, I recommend it with reservations. To find out the ending, you will have to get the next volume. This four-star book will be enjoyed by fans of first century Christians, and exciting stories.
