Publisher's Summary
First-century Corinth is a city teeming with commerce and charm. It's also filled with danger and corruption - the perfect setting for Ariadne's greatest adventure.
After years spent living with her mother and oppressive grandfather in Athens, Ariadne runs away to her father's home in Corinth, only to discover the perilous secret that destroyed his marriage: Though a Greek of high birth, Galenos is the infamous thief who has been robbing the city's corrupt of their ill-gotten gains.
Desperate to keep him safe, Ariadne risks her good name, her freedom, and the love of the man she adores to become her father's apprentice. As her unusual athletic ability leads her into dangerous exploits, Ariadne discovers she secretly revels in playing with fire. But when the wrong person discovers their secret, Ariadne and her father find their future - and very lives - hanging in the balance.
When they befriend a Jewish rabbi named Paul, they realize his radical message challenges everything they've fought to build, yet offers something for which neither dared hope.
Be transported back in time by this gripping tale of adventure, bravery, and redemption, and discover why Debbie Macomber says, "No one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar."

An unforgettable read
I loved this story and once again Tessa Afshar brought the scriptures to life. She makes you feel like you’re in the story yourself.

Heartfelt life realities
Great book, really well presented and presents real life trials and tribulations, Family dynamics and what love actually looks like, very likely that there would of been many stories like this one during the early church being built, hearts healing and learning to love not only themselves but one another.

Help comes at just the right time
I did enjoy this story set in Bible times.Tessa Afshar is a most gifted writer love all her writings.How wrong is set right sometimes with harsh consequences.Of intentions that seemed right but is still wrong.Of being the best after hard training and finding it still didn’t satisfy. The romance was a lovely component.Rendah Heywood with her delightful storytelling makes this so enjoyable .I recommend to anyone who enjoys a story of faith and endurance

Modern story pretending old
This is not Biblical history just because there’s mention of an Unknown God a Paul and Lydia the purple seller.
It is a modern -young adult- story placed in a ‘Bible times’ setting of Corinth and Athens. The author needs to do a lot more research to make an authentic sounding series of events.
