A prosperous trader, Marcus Lucianus Valerian has made a fortune providing sand and slaves for the Roman games. But Hadassah, a slave in his family's household, has enchanted him with her quiet beauty and her staunch faith in Christ. When Marcus' sister sends Hadassah to almost certain death in the games, Marcus feels that his life has been ripped apart. Now he is on his way to Jerusalem to find out more about Hadassah's god, unaware that a miracle awaits him back in Rome.

Article Regarding Books An Echo in the Darkness (Mark of the Lion #2)

Goodness, I am so happy right now. And the ending *sigh* it was everything I wanted. Just lovely. The first book had me captured to an extent that I couldn't hardly put it down. This book was very, very good; however, I didn't feel that tension that was making me want to explode with anger at Julia and certain of the other characters. It was more calm and didn't give me that 'I can't possibly go start my school day, I need to know what's going to happen' feeling. However, that didn't affect how

Francine Rivers did it again with this sequel. The only negative comment I have concerns the journey of Marcus being baptized. The Lord had spoken to two random characters in their dreams and told them to give specific instructions to Marcus and were also given specific instructions. One thing I find valuable in a Christian story is *realness*. I'm not saying the Lord can't/won't/or hasn't spoken to people in dreams before and maybe me being unimpressed is just a flaw in my own faith. I just

Let me start by saying, "WOW, This is one of the best, most moving books I have ever read in my entire life!"An Echo in the Darkness by Francine Rivers is an absolute masterpiece. The story picks directly at the ending of the first book.

She sees patient after patient, day after day. And all the while,

wow. These are so wonderful and I couldn't express all my love in one simple review. just read these. please.

This book continues and ends the saga of Hadassah, but focuses more on the struggles of the people she's comes into contact with. The Valerian family are all in different places in their lives, some of them desperate, and they are searching for a real God who lives, not the pagan gods they are used to worshipping.The hard part about reading this story is that Haddassah is perfect. She forgives the woman who sent her to the arena to be eaten by lions and serves her again. She always has the

I loved this second book in the Mark of the Lion series! It started off with a surprise and kept me absolutely captivated through the entire book. I'm really fascinated by the cultures in this time period and really enjoyed the journey through this book. I also thought the author handled the various issues very realistically without being too heavy handed. After my horror at the way the first book ended, I got my HEA with this one!
