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. As he did in previous novels (Jerusalem’s Rain; The Thieves of Golgotha), Lliteras enters the mind of one character and tells the story from his point of view. A young boy named Addan has just witnessed Jesus’s death and is confused by what is happening. He sets off to find his father, a disciple of Jesus, and, along the way, falls prey to bandits. A mesmerizing charlatan named Jeshua rescues him and lures him into working together to fleece the crowds during magic shows. Addan is charmed by Jeshua’s influence even though he knows it goes against everything Jesus taught. 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. The author lives in Virginia. [See the Q&A with Lliteras on p. 58.-Ed.]
