In imperial Rome a young woman is drawn to the hunted Christian community that meets for worship among the tombs beneath the city. Around her story Withrow sets the life of the capital, from gossip and wagers at the public baths to the household of the city Prefect, and the persecution that drove believers underground.

A devout historical tale by a writer who knew the catacombs well, for readers who enjoy fiction of the early church in the vein of Fabiola. Download the free EPUB.
