In the time of Jesus, at the zenith of Ancient Rome’s power, Tiberius Marcius, a decorated centurion, stands between two powerful men—Drusus, Caesar’s lecherous son, and Sejanus, prefect of the Praetorian Guard—waging a personal war against each other. Both are determined to possess a beautiful, Hebrew slave named Tamar.
Tiberius Marcius owns Tamar and is torn between his growing love for her and his allegiances to Drusus and Sejanus. As both his monstrous masters close in, the decorated soldier decides to risk it all for the slave girl for whom he would die.
Soon, the two lovers are fighting for their lives as they are chased by assassins and political enemies in exotic cities across the Roman Empire. In a time of great religious and international upheaval, Tiberius and Tamar are forced to confront their interfaith relationship while trying desperately to survive the battle between the emperor’s son and his deadliest foe.
