The Power and the Glory - Eventus

Step into the heart of the first century with EVENTUS: The Power and the Glory, a sweeping work of historical fiction that masterfully intertwines the grit of the Roman Empire with the transformative dawn of early Christianity.

Perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow’s Eagles of the Empire and Francine Rivers’ Mark of the Lion, this epic narrative delivers a visceral look at a world in upheaval.

In the dense, rain-soaked forests of Britannia, Prefect Julius Cornelius Vitellius leads the Twentieth Valeria Victrix against a ghost-like insurgency. After a savage ambush leaves his men mutilated, Julius is caught between the ruthless commands of his superior, Atilius, and his own burgeoning sense of humanity - especially when he encounters Ena, the defiant daughter of a British Chieftain. Their interaction sparks a dangerous question: can compassion survive in a landscape defined by conquest and retribution?

Meanwhile, the ripples of Imperial power reach the streets of Rome and Jerusalem. As the Edict of Claudius Jewish families like that of Doctor Joseph Reuben into exile, they must navigate a world where survival depends on faith and the kindness of strangers. Simultaneously, in the East, the Apostle Paul and his companions Silas and Timothy embark on a missionary journey that will change the course of history, facing divine visions and physical trials to spread a message of hope that threatens the very foundations of Roman "Power."

EVENTUS is a meticulously researched biblical fiction and military history crossover that explores the cost of empire and the resilience of the human spirit. With a story arc that bridges the gap between the sword and the word, it captures the emotional hooks of forbidden connection, displaced families, and the clash of civilizations. Discover an era where the glory of Rome meets the rising light of a new faith in this unputdownable saga of ancient history and spiritual awakening.
