The Centurion's Wife

Prix de vente$18.99

A love story born in the shadow of history—where faith, danger, and destiny collide at the dawn of Christianity. 

Leah, a young Jewish woman of mixed heritage, lives at the center of power in Roman-occupied Palestine—but belongs fully to neither world. Bound by duty to serve the governor’s wife, she is quietly tasked with uncovering the truth behind a troubling mystery: the execution and missing body of an obscure rabbi whose death has ignited dangerous rumors.

At the same time, Leah faces a future she dreads—an arranged marriage to Alban, a Roman centurion driven by ambition and loyalty to Rome above all else.

As political intrigue tightens and whispers of resurrection spread, Leah is drawn into a web of secrets, betrayals, and unexpected tenderness. Her growing connection to Alban unfolds against a backdrop of unrest, forcing both to confront questions of allegiance, belief, and the cost of truth.

Rich in historical detail and emotional depth, The Centurion’s Wife is an epic biblical romance about divided loyalties, forbidden love, and the quiet power of faith—set during the world-altering events surrounding the birth of Christianity.
