Young nobleman Marcellus of Antioch lives a life of leisure and privilege with his lovely neighbor, Byziana.

About the Book

A.D. 526 — Antioch is gone.

The day after a devastating earthquake shatters Antioch, Byziana’s father disappears.

When a letter arrives months later, she and Marcellus brave the wilds of Anatolia, determined to find him and recover their stolen treasures. But the road to Constantinople is ruthless—bandits, betrayal, and a deadly conspiracy stalk their every step.

Hidden in their trunk are sacred Scrolls—truths worth more than gold and dangerous enough to get them killed. Hunted by enemies and tested by survival, they must cling to courage, outwit those who seek to destroy them, and hold fast to a faith under fire.

Brace yourself for an unforgettable odyssey of faith, family, and friendship that defies destiny.

A sweeping standalone epic novel, 512 pages long, this story is brought to life with dozens of captivating illustrations, maps, and diagrams.

Strap on your sandals—your journey awaits. Take and read today.
