A historically rich story of love, faith and sacrifice in the days of the early church in ancient Rome.
Adelgard has fought for her survival since being captured and forced to fight in the arena, gaining a strong reputation as a skilled fighter. Felix doesn't like the Roman pastime of consuming violence for entertainment, but he takes a job applying his skills in healing at the gladiator school and quickly becomes invested in trying to help the enslaved gladiators.
A little slow to start but picks up speed as we get to know the characters and their plights. Adel fights to survive, dreaming of glory in the arenas, while carrying a secret shame. A well written read, rich in history that brings to life the horror of living as a gladiator in ancient Rome, as well as the life of Telemechus.
A compelling and gripping read, with thrilling suspense, and rich in history. I enjoyed learning about Telemechus and his life. An entertaining read, with a strong message of faith and trusting God.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
