Faith and survival in the Roman Empire

Set in the first-century Roman Empire, the opening novel in the Mark of the Lion series places Hadassah, a young Jewish woman enslaved in a society where people are bought and sold, amid the contrast between Roman privilege and the arena’s brutality. Her love for an aristocrat complicates a story shaped by captivity, faith, and the question of how to remain steadfast within a corrupting world. The book combines historical fiction with Christian themes, including grace and devotion, and includes discussion questions for individual or group use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian historical fiction set in the Roman Empire
  • Those looking for a story that combines faith and romance
  • Book groups seeking a novel with discussion questions

Book overview

Book 1 in the 3-book historical Christian fiction series by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece.

The first book in the beloved Mark of the Lion series, A Voice in the Wind brings readers back to the first century Roman empire and introduces them to a character they will never forget―Hadassah.

While wealthy Roman citizens indulge their every whim, Jews and barbarians are bought and sold as slaves and gladiators in the bloodthirsty arena. Amid the depravity around her, a young Jewish slave girl becomes a light in the darkness. Even as she's torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, Hadassah clings to her faith in the living God for deliverance from the forces of a decadent empire.

A Voice in the Wind is perfect for fans of:

  • Christian romance
  • Biblical and historical fiction
  • Themes of grace, love, and standing firm in your faith

Includes discussion questions suitable for individual use or group discussions

"Francine unlocks the longing in each one of us to connect to God in a deeper, life-changing way. No one reading her books will ever be the same again."
―Debbie Macomber

"As we 'watch' Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The 'costumes' may vary, but our Lord does not change."
―Angela Hunt

"Francine redefined Christian fiction―honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing―demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God's truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way."
―Liz Curtis Higgs

"Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian fiction."
―Bodie Thoene

"Francine Rivers puts readers right into the history of the moment."
―Romantic Times
