I bought this book based on the cover, but I spent the last two days imprisoned by it because of the characters, storyline, and powerful writing. Much like Francine River's Mark of the Lion series, this book is based on historical Rome, and deals with the plight of an unfairly enslaved gladiator and the woman he comes to love. It also very movingly blends faith and truth within the actions and words of the characters. The characters felt real to me, as did their experiences and emotions.
