With no way to prevent Helena from marrying another, Lucius flees to Rome to

seek his fortune and mend his broken heart.

In a loveless marriage with a child to care for, Helena finds comfort in the

most unlikely place--with her brother amongst the Christians. The religious

group is mostly ignored by the Pagan populace, until the Emperor returns to

the city and celebrations are planned. There's a shortages of criminals for

the games and Christians are now sought out for arrest.

Fate brings Lucius back to Carthage, where his only wish is that he will get a

glimpse of the girl he still loves. But when he finally sees Helena, it's

under the worse possible circumstance...
