She becomes interested in Christianity after meeting a Christian priest named Agellius, who introduces her to the teachings of Jesus Christ.As Callista learns more about Christianity, she begins to question her own beliefs and the pagan traditions of her community. She faces opposition from her family and friends, who are strongly opposed to Christianity. However, she is determined to follow her heart and embrace the new faith.The novel explores the themes of faith, love, and sacrifice, as Callista struggles to reconcile her newfound beliefs with the expectations of her society.
