    About this series

    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 faith’s future still hangs in the balance.

    Flavia, a Roman senator’s daughter, is sent from her convent by Bishop Sylvester to seek Emperor Constantine’s permission to determine the canon of scripture and build great churches where pagan temples once stood. But God’s enemies are
    on the move, and the path to the bishop’s goals is fraught with peril.

    Flavia’s 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 world’s greatest empire keep refusing to bow the knee to its true and rightful Lord?

      Travel back to one of the most pivotal eras in history—— a time when devotion to the pagan gods was fading and the Roman Empire was being conquered by the sign of the cross. AD 309. Rome teeters on the brink of war. Constantine’s army is on the move. On the Rhine frontier, pagan Germanic barbarian Brandulf Rex joins the Roman army as a spy. Down in Rome, senator’s daughter Junia Flavia finds herself embroiled in antiChristian politics as she works on behalf of the church. As armies converge and forces beyond their control threaten to destroy everything they have worked for, these two people from different worlds will have to fight together to bring down the evil Emperor Maxentius. But his villainous plans and devious henchmen are not easily overcome. Will Rex and Flavia live to see the Empire bow the knee to Christ? Or will their part in the story of Constantine’s rise meet an untimely and brutal end?
