Scorned by his family since birth, Rogatus is a loner who relies on no one. He only needs two more years as a tribune, and he'll have earned enough that the future he wants is assured, no matter what his father does to him. But as he begins his final command in Britannia, he meets the people who might end his loneliness...or his life.
With a Roman mother and British centurion father, Narina is at home in both tribal and Roman worlds. As the only Christian, she's the peacemaker between her Roman brothers and British cousins. Cousin Sulio hates most Romans, but he loves her like a sister. When Rogatus brings his cavalrymen to their town, their chieftain wants Sulio to befriend the tribune to learn what the Romans are up to. As the tribune's interest in Narina grows, Sulio wants to quench that before she gets hurt. But how can he do both?
When unrest becomes rebellion, old loyalties create mortal enemies. Narina has God to guide her, but her Roman friend and British cousin aren't Christians. How can she get two strong men, who seem destined to be enemies, to choose life over death before it's too late?
What Loyalty Demands is another exciting addition to the stand-alone Light in the Empire series of Early Church Biblical fiction novels. The story is the first set in Roman Britain, and includes historical notes related to the events of the story.
This is a fabulous ancient-world series of novels that follow the lives of fictional early Christians. Carol is meticulous with her research and a true expert on Ancient Rome! History lovers and those who enjoy my biblical books are going to LOVE this series! -- Roseanna White, best-selling author and Christy Award winner.
If you enjoy the Roman-era Biblical fiction of Tessa Afshar and Francine River's Mark of the Lion series, you'll love the stand-alone novels of the Light in the Empire series.
