Lost Cities… Reimagined [Can be read in any order]

Buried beneath the fiery fallout of a massive volcano, vanished beneath the sands of a windswept desert, the cities of Pompeii and Petra whisper to us in ancient voices, inviting us to imagine life in an Italian seaside resort town or a rock-carved fortress in Arabia. But in a world where pagan gods still hold sway, there is little peace and no safety for a new movement, those who follow Jesus.

Pompeii: City on Fire

Disguised as a young man, Ariella escapes life as a Jewish slave in Rome, only to be sold into a traveling gladiator troupe. Waiting for her moment to gain fame and then freedom, she keeps her identity secret. But when she arrives to fight in Pompeii, a Roman politician-turned-winemaker shows too much curiosity, and Ariella must harden her heart against Cato's interest. And then there's Jeremiah, the aged barracks slave who whispers of a new sect of Jews called Christians, who offer a different way of life. All the while, Vesuvius looms over the city, churning with deadly intent. It's getting harder to protect her heart.

Petra: City in Stone

In AD 106, a single mother can be certain of one thing―destitution. Cassia flees to Petra with her six-year-old son to seek refuge in the loving arms of family, but discovers the great stone city is not what she imagined. And family cannot be trusted. When a secret reveals her son's true bloodline, the boy becomes the target of a royal conspiracy, led by a queen who serves demonic power. Now in her darkest hour, Cassia encounters followers of The Way, a subversive religious group whose disciples are frequently sentenced to arenas with starved lions and blood-soaked sand. What will it take to save her son from the powers of darkness?
