"Best genre fiction of 2007. A mesmerizing story of faith and purpose."
-- Library Journal, Dec 15, 2007

Continuing his unparalleled literary quest to explore the immediate human fallout surrounding the crucifixion, D. S. Llliteras's latest novel follows Addan, a young boy searching for his father, a disciple of Jesus. Along the way, Addan encounters bandits, lepers, and con men before teaming up with Jeshua, an entertainer and opportunist, who protects the boy while at the same time using him to help swindle unsuspecting strangers. Like all of the best fiction characters, Addan's story mirrors our own search for a faith to help us understand and see us through our turbulent and troubled times. D.S. Lliteras is the author of nine critically acclaimed novels, including Jerusalem's Rain, honored by Booklist as one of the Ten Best Christian Novels of 2003.

"Easily one of the best authors of biblical fiction today, Lliteras here takes the reader back to the birth of Christianity and the events surrounding the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.... Lliteras has woven an equally mesmerizing story about faith and purpose in an enchanting tale that readers will not want to put down. This tight, suspenseful story moves quickly toward a satisfying conclusion. Highly recommended for all collections."
-- Library Journal, February 1, 2007 (starred review)

"Lliteras again delivers an imaginatively gripping story of faith, doubt and ultimate redemption.... Lliteras’s brand of biblical fiction is heart-racing; it’s messy, bloody and honest. Deftly crafted, the rich layers of darkness—emotional, physical and political—give this tale an unusual depth."
-- Publisher’s Weekly, January 8, 2007

"Lliteras continues his multivolume chronicles of the Crucifixion.... Charming tale."
-- Booklist, January 2007
