Description:
In an ancient city carved from stone, a desperate woman searches for peace.
In AD 106, a single mother can be certain of one thing―destitution.
Cassia flees to Petra with her six-year-old son to seek refuge in the loving arms of family, but discovers the great stone city is not what she imagined.
And family cannot be trusted.
When a secret reveals her son's true bloodline, the boy becomes the target of a royal conspiracy, led by a queen who serves demonic power.
Now in her darkest hour, Cassia encounters followers of The Way, a subversive religious group whose disciples are frequently sentenced to arenas with starved lions and blood-soaked sand.
Will they seek out more danger by helping her?
And what will it take to save her son from the powers of darkness?
“I couldn't live a week without a private library - indeed, I'd part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I'd let go of the 1500 or so books I possess.“
