Shucks! I missed the free days, but it looked interesting enough to cough up $0.99! ;) It's going in my TBR pile for sure! Thanks for the recommendation, Rosalind!
ABOUT THE BOOK...
In 67AD, Johanan - the adventurous young scribe of the Apostle Andrew - flees the siege of Caesarea on a ship sailing for Greece. He is bound by oath to protect the Word of his master, no matter what pirates, fate or the gods of Olympus have in store for him.
Onboard, he meets two people who will change his life and the course of history. The first is a Roman General appointed to organize the Olympic Games at which the Emperor Nero will compete. The second is Dido, an enigmatic young woman from Alexandria who is carrying a cargo of secrets. To uncover the truth about her violent past, Johanan must first prove himself worthy of her trust.
The Seventh Season is a romantic adventure in the classical tradition that takes readers on a thrilling journey through the ancient world. Translated by Kit Hudson from controversial texts by Emmanuel of Samaria, this historical epic gives an eyewitness account of the struggle between early Christianity and the Roman Empire.
