The year is AD 316.
Imperial persecution has officially ended.
For the first time in history, the Roman emperor supports the church. But the fledgling faithâs future still hangs in the balance.
Flavia, a Roman senatorâs daughter, is sent from her convent by Bishop Sylvester to seek Emperor Constantineâs permission to determine the canon of scripture and build great churches where pagan temples once stood. But Godâs enemies are
on the move, and the path to the bishopâs goals is fraught with peril.
Flaviaâs beloved protector, Germanic barbarian Brandulf Rex, has fought his way out of exile. He and Flavia will cross the empire by land and sea on this epic quest to free the Roman people from the tyranny of the ancient gods.
Will the early Christians receive the Word of God? Will beautiful churches rise in Rome where pagan temples once stood? Or will the worldâs greatest empire keep refusing to bow the knee to its true and rightful Lord?
