review 1: Co-authors Kathi Macias and Susan Wales expose us to the wonders and the dangers that were third century Rome. These two adept authors help bring the light of God into a dark world by inspiring us with this story of a woman with extraordinary strength and faith in God. At a time when Christians feared to walk the streets and met in dark rooms, Valeria had no choice but to be in the public's eye. Does she risk the wrath of her husband by declaring her Christian faith? Or does she risk the wrath of her God by hiding behind a pagan facade?
review 2: This novel, which is based upon history as far as I could research, details the lives of Valeria (daughter) and wife (Prisca) of Diocletian, the Roman emperor who lived from AD 245-313. Diocletian was a pagan worshiper... more of the Roman Gods, and his mother served as the central goddess in the temple of Jupiter. Diocletian and his mother persecuted Christians, so the story was very interesting, as his wife and daughter became Christians and were martyed at the end. The Catholic Church and Foxes Book of Martyr's recognize the Theban Legion that was a central part of the story. less
