About This Book

I’m going to tell you a secret: there’s a cross that can take you back in time — but only if you’re brave enough to find it. Daniel never thought saints or church were anything special, until he meets George, a soldier standing up for what he believes in during Ancient Rome’s toughest times. What happens next will change everything, but that’s only the beginning.

Quick Assessment

This middle-grade fantasy follows Daniel, a skeptical boy transported to Ancient Rome where he witnesses the persecution of early Christians under Emperor Diocletian. The story explores themes of courage, faith, and standing up for one’s beliefs in the face of danger. Suitable for ages 9-12, it contains historical conflict and mild peril but handles these themes with sensitivity.
