The Martyr's Relic: Mystery in Rome (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247093398)

This compelling historical thriller is set in the 3rd century A.D., against the backdrop of Christian persecution
Fabius, a respected Roman magistrate, is a committed stoic who governs his life according to the principles of that philosophy. But devastating news upends his world: his ten-year-old niece has fallen gravely ill, and her death seems inevitable. Her parents-devout Christians-believe only a miracle can save her, and for that, they need an ancient relic whose whereabouts are unknown. Despite his natural skepticism, Fabius takes on the challenge of finding the sacred item.

When Emperor Decius issues a sweeping edict against Christians throughout the empire in the mid-3rd century, the Church's survival and the faith of its followers are sorely tested. Especially among those who choose martyrdom rather than renouncing their beliefs.

Step into imperial Rome-with its grand temples and amphitheaters-and descend into the mysterious Christian catacombs and their hidden secrets.

This trilogy of historical thrillers is rich in emotion and suspense. Embark on this journey and uncover the hidden truths of early Christianity.
