Summary

Three-time Christy Award winner Davis Bunn collaborates with Janette Oke to evoke the tumult of first-century Judea in the wake of Christ’s crucifixion.

Although she prefers service in Pontius Pilate’s palace to a loveless marriage, Leah is betrothed to a Roman centurion. Before he can have Leah, however, he must go on a secret mission. But when a rabbi’s missing body sends Leah and Alban after the same answers, what they discover could change all they hold dear.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

A fantastic story, well written and narrated - really couldn't stop listening. Can't wait to hear the other two books in the series.

Reasonable.

Storyline bit slow for me. A fair read but nothing over special which I was surprise at.
