This was an intriguing read. I was captivated from beginning to end.
This book has everything in it a reader could want!
It's action packed from the beginning and I loved every minute of it. I couldn't put it down until I was finished.
Memorable characters along with all the beautiful scenes that were described in this book. I felt like I was there!
I've loved Biblical fiction since 2015 and I've been hooked ever since!
I've learned a lot from reading this book and I won't soon forget it. Even now, I'm still thinking about it.
Such a beautiful cover too!
5 stars for a well written story. I highly recommend!

What an amazing and captivating ancient history fantasy. I loved every single word. My heart was galloping, singing with joy and crying in pain. It was an enthralling story.
This is the third book in Litfin’s series of novels based upon the life of Constantine. Litfin focuses on the early AD 300s because it was one of the most pivotal times in church history.
If you like historical fiction, war novels, spies, ancient Rome, and/or romance in the midst of danger, I think you’ll like this whole series. Litfin has taken what he has gleaned from much study about Constantine and turned it into a riveting book full of all of the above. Themes of lust vs love, political power vs spiritual power, loyalty vs betrayal combined with heart-stopping plot twists kept me reading late into the night several times.
Be warned that this is not a G-rated book – Litfin’s descriptions of brutal warfare, life for the poverty-stricken masses under crazed rulers, Christians being persecuted, and so forth are not sanitized. You may think historical fiction is boring, but not this book! I’m worn out from everything that happened in just a few years as things changed dramatically for the Christian church at the beginning of Constantine’s reign. Litfin does an excellent job of weaving his fictional characters in with the historical figures, and also of making all the theological disputes quite easy to understand.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
