After days of brutal fighting against Arab forces, Moshe Sachar, the courageous leader of the Israelis, escapes to a tunnel under the Old City and discovers sacred scrolls that tell the history of his faith and poeple. Opening a scroll, Moshe becomes immersed in an extraordinary story from the first century A.D., that of Miryam, a beautiful yet troubled young widow, and Marcus, her Roman suitor. When a mysterious prophet threatens the Roman empire, Miryam's quest for love and forgiveness draws them all into a dangerous, manipulative plan that will change the course of history.
