Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Step back in time to the tumultuous first century AD, a period marked by the clash of Roman might with the fervent spirit of Judea. This book, a captivating historical novel, immerses you in the heart of this era, where political intrigue, religious fervor, and the yearning for power intertwine. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Crispus, a young Roman of noble lineage, whose life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Polemo, the King of Pontus. In a surprising twist, Crispus is offered the throne of Pontus, a kingdom in turmoil, on the condition that he marries the kingââ â¢s chosen bride. Intrigued by this unexpected opportunity, Crispus finds himself drawn into a web of secrets and mysteries, questioning the true motives behind Polemoââ â¢s proposition. He is thrust into a world where the Roman Empire is a looming presence, and where religious tension simmers between Jews, Christians, and pagans. The author masterfully captures the atmosphere of a volatile society where power is both coveted and feared, and where faith and ambition collide. This thrilling tale reveals the complexities of a pivotal moment in history, offering a compelling glimpse into the struggles of individuals caught between conflicting loyalties and the relentless tides of fate.
