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 faithās future still hangs in the balance.
Flavia, a Roman senatorās daughter, is sent from her convent by Bishop Sylvester to seek Emperor Constantineās permission to determine the canon of scripture and build great churches where pagan temples once stood. But Godās enemies are
on the move, and the path to the bishopās goals is fraught with peril.
Flaviaās 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 worldās greatest empire keep refusing to bow the knee to its true and rightful Lord?
