The first in the "Mark of the Lion" series of inspirational fiction, this historical romance set in Rome about 100 C.E. is the story of Hadassah, a steadfastly Christian slave girl and sole survivor of her family, who is sold into slavery to the Valerian family. She serves as a maid to Julia, a young woman who makes several unfortunate and unhappy marriages. Simultaneously, Atretes, a captured soldier from Germania, is forced to become a gladiator. This is the time of Rome's decline; the decadence is well described as Christians are fed to lions while large crowds watch and cheer. Hadassah attempts to use her faith to influence events around her and the family, even though they worship Roman gods and are skeptical about Christianity. Richard Ferrone is experienced and polished; his reading is smooth and unobtrusive. Recommended for all libraries where inspirational fiction is popular.-Mary Knapp, Madison P.L., WI Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

As explicitly Christian literature goes, this is actually very good. Set in the Roman Empire during the first century A.D., and tells a story of a slave girl's attempts to live a good working life for the family she is purchased by. It is very evocative of time and place and contains vivid descriptions of life in the Roman Empire. Quite well written and also sets things up nicely for books 2 and 3.
