"In A.D. 299, the Roman oracles ceased to prophesy for the Emperor Diocletian. The silence of the gods sparks a bloody storm of persecution that sweeps across the Roman Empire. As the fires of suspicion and hatred ignite all around them, a young man and a young woman are united by a mysterious prophecy from the catacombs of Rome ... one that will set them on a journey to battle an evil beyond imagining. Saints aren't born. They are forged."--Publisher's website. No library descriptions found. |

A clean YA historical read. Its Catholicism is rather blatant, but that's usually the case in Roman Empire Christian persecution novels. The cliffhanger ending promises at least one more book, and I think it will be interesting to see where the author goes with the story. Highly recommended for those looking for interesting Catholic historical fiction. ( )
