About this listen

First-century Corinth is a city teeming with commerce and charm. It's also filled with danger and corruption - the perfect setting for Ariadne's greatest adventure.

After years spent living with her mother and oppressive grandfather in Athens, Ariadne runs away to her father's home in Corinth, only to discover the perilous secret that destroyed his marriage: Though a Greek of high birth, Galenos is the infamous thief who has been robbing the city's corrupt of their ill-gotten gains.

Desperate to keep him safe, Ariadne risks her good name, her freedom, and the love of the man she adores to become her father's apprentice. As her unusual athletic ability leads her into dangerous exploits, Ariadne discovers she secretly revels in playing with fire. But when the wrong person discovers their secret, Ariadne and her father find their future - and very lives - hanging in the balance.

When they befriend a Jewish rabbi named Paul, they realize his radical message challenges everything they've fought to build, yet offers something for which neither dared hope.

Be transported back in time by this gripping tale of adventure, bravery, and redemption, and discover why Debbie Macomber says, "No one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar."

Great storyline, I really enjoyed /loved it. Found it hard to stop listening. I got a bit weary with the describing and comparing words but maybe that is more about me than the writer.

I Liked this book so much!.
Unfortunately I gave them four stars as an overall and in performance because sometimes the narrator changed her voice and sometimes I wonder if she were introducing a new character but in reality it was the same character who had just finished speaking in the previous chapter. Maybe is something to do with the way of the recording?
However, her intonation and reading made me to go deeper into the reading.
As always, Mrs. Afshar does a good job in her novels. Her message of forgiveness is clearly heard. Her ways of telling the historical events makes you believe everything.
The characters grew and developed.
In summary the novel is very good and I recommend it.

Excelente!!

Lovely storytelling - reminds me if my early days reading under the blankets. v. clear narrator. A few slips for correction but otherwise lovely.

Enjoyed the story - a relief from gritty thrillers.
