Though torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, Hadassah becomes a shining beacon of light in the darkness and depravity around her.In An Echo in the Darkness , Marcus, a wealthy Roman aristocrat touched by Hadassah's sincere belief, begins to wonder if there's more to this life. As he continues to search for meaning and faith, he is led by a whispering voice from the past that could set him free from the darkness of his soul.The trilogy concludes with As Sure as the Dawn , which follows Atretes, the high chief of a Germanic tribe who fought as a gladiator and won his freedom. As Atretes sets out to return home with his infant son, only one thing stands in his way: Rizpah, a Christian widow who has cared for the baby since his birth.

No one reading her books will ever be the same again."-- Debbie Macomber , New York Times bestselling author"As we 'watch' Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The 'costumes' may vary, but our Lord does not change."-- Angela Hunt "Francine redefined Christian fiction--honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing--demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God's truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way."-- Liz Curtis Higgs "Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian fiction."-- Bodie Thoene

  • As good as Ben Hur!

    I could not put the books down, managed to read all three is less than 2 weeks. Superbly written - makes you feel like you are right there in late first century Roman empire. Nice cast of characters. A few 'preachy' sections, especially in the third book but still an enjoyable read.

  • Mark of the Lion

    Can hardly put the books down! Story pulls you into the lives of every character. One of the series I wish would be made into a movie! In my opinion it would rate up there with Lord of the Rings!
