Sinossi

In "Stephen: A Soldier of the Cross," Florence Morse Kingsley intricately weaves a tapestry of faith, conflict, and redemption, set against the backdrop of early Christianity. Through the lens of her protagonist, Stephen, Kingsley explores themes of courage and conviction in a time of persecution, employing a lyrical and approachable literary style that evokes the passions and trials of its historical context. The narrative not only delivers a compelling story but also serves as a poignant reflection on the transformative power of belief and sacrifice, making it a profound addition to religious fiction of the early 20th century. Florence Morse Kingsley, born in 1859, was a passionate advocate for women's rights and an accomplished writer, which influenced her portrayal of strong, faith-driven characters. Raised in a religious environment, Kingsley's deep engagement with Christian theology and her experiences in a rapidly changing society provided a unique lens through which she could articulate the struggles faced by early Christians. Her works often delve into moral dilemmas and highlight the resilience of the human spirit, mirroring her own values and convictions. I highly recommend "Stephen: A Soldier of the Cross" to readers seeking a richly layered narrative that deftly captures the essence of faith in adversity. This book not only enchants with its storytelling but also invites contemplation on the ideals of sacrifice and devotion, making it a timeless work for audiences interested in historical and spiritual literature.

When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
 
In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England.
