[Light in the Empire 04] • Faithful

Is the price of true friendship ever too high?

In AD 122, Adela is eagerly awaiting her marriage to a Germanic warrior when she’s kidnapped and taken across the Roman frontier to sell as a slave. Otto wins her while carousing with her kidnappers and asks his trading partner, Galen, to take charge of her. When Otto is kidnapped by the same men, Galen must track them down before his best friend loses a fight to the death in a Roman arena.

Adela gladly joins Galen in the chase, hungry for vengeance. Will traveling from Germania to Rome with the kind man who would risk anything for his God or his friend open her eyes to choices she never dreamed she wanted?

A trip to the heart of the Empire poses mortal danger for a man who follows Jesus, especially when he must seek the help of an enemy of the faith if Otto is to survive. Will the risk Galen takes to rescue his friend prove too costly for all?
