It takes place during the Roman Empire, shortly after the fall of Jerusalem, 70 AD. Using a Hebrew slave girl (Hadassah) and a German gladiator (Atretes) as the main characters, three books are crafted around themes of faith, redemption, and sacrifice.
The first in the series is A Voice in the Wind. A slave girl is torn between her faith and a Roman aristocrat, Marcus. A German is captured and turned into a Gladiator.
The second in the series is An Echo in the Darkness. Marcus is feeling restless. His life of pleasure no longer holds any happiness for him. The answer might come from the strange woman hidden in veils who assists the young doctor Alexander at his shop in the poor part of town.
The third and final in the series is As Sure as the Dawn. This book takes place after the first book. Atretes and Rizpah discover the fires of faith and their own burning devotion to a Lord who draws them into a love that is as sure as the dawn.

This series will make you ponder your own relationship with Christ. It challenged me to become stronger in my walk with Christ.
I was sad when I read the last page of the third book. I did not want it to end. I wish they would turn it into a movie. :-)
