The book is set in ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero and follows the lives of two main characters, Marcus and Lydia, who are caught up in the tumultuous events of the time. The story begins with the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, which Nero blames on the Christians and uses as an excuse to persecute them. Marcus is a wealthy Roman citizen who is sympathetic to the Christians and becomes involved in their struggle for survival. Lydia is a young Christian woman who is forced to flee Rome and becomes separated from Marcus. The novel is a tale of love, faith, and courage in the face of persecution.

The book is the first in a series of three and has been praised for its historical accuracy and its portrayal of the early Christian church.
