opulence of the empire---but will he ever find true peace?
A classic series that has inspired millions of readers worldwide!
From the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in
the Wind comes the "compelling" and "emotionally charged" (Booklist, starred
review) second installment of the story of Hadassah, a courageous Christian
slave girl with unrelenting faith, and Marcus, the Roman aristocrat who claims
her heart
Believed dead, Hadassah finds employment helping a doctor in the poor section
of first-century Rome and discovers an ability to heal others through the power
of her faith. When Julia falls ill, Hadassah is forced to confront a difficult
decision: should she return to the Valerian household, risking exposure and
death, to help her former tormentor in the Christian tradition?
Continuing to search for meaning and faith, Marcus turns away from the opulence
of Rome, led by a whispering voice from the past into a journey that could set
him free from the darkness of his soul.
