Publisher's Synopsis
In the scorching heat of Roman-occupied Judea, a half-blind soldier named Cassius swings his sword with fading sight and a heart full of rage. But when a single thrust of his spear pierces the side of a crucified preacher-a man they call the "King of the Jews"-a splash of blood and water heals his eyes... and shatters his soul.
Now hunted by the empire he once served, Cassius flees into the desert, haunted by the dying man's words: "Father, forgive them." With Roman soldiers on his trail and whispers of miracles dogging his steps, Cassius must choose: hide in the shadows, or risk everything to spread the truth of what he saw that day on Golgotha.
From the blood-soaked sands of Jerusalem to the martyr's sword, this is the story of the soldier who witnessed history's darkest hour... and became its most unlikely saint.
What would you do if the truth cost you your life?
