Mark of the Lion Series Gift Collection: Complete 3-Book Set (A Voice in the Wind, An Echo in the Darkness, As Sure as the Dawn) Christian Historical Fiction Novels Set in 1st Century Rome

The complete 3-book historical Christian fiction series by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece.

Travel to first-century Rome in this classic biblical fiction series and discover what has inspired millions of readers worldwide. The three books in the Mark of the Lion series are packaged in a giftable boxed set.

A Voice in the Wind, the first book in the trilogy, introduces readers to Hadassah, a young Jewish girl captured and sold into slavery but still holding firm to her faith in God. Though torn by her love for a handsome aristocrat, Hadassah becomes a shining beacon of light in the darkness and depravity around her.

In An Echo in the Darkness, Marcus, a wealthy Roman aristocrat touched by Hadassah's sincere belief, begins to wonder if there's more to this life. As he continues to search for meaning and faith, he is led by a whispering voice from the past that could set him free from the darkness of his soul.

The trilogy concludes with As Sure as the Dawn, which follows Atretes, the high chief of a Germanic tribe who fought as a gladiator and won his freedom. As Atretes sets out to return home with his infant son, only one thing stands in his way: Rizpah, a Christian widow who has cared for the baby since his birth.

All three books in this latest collection include:
  • A preface from Francine Rivers about her inspiration for these books
  • A glossary of historical terms for easy reference
  • Discussion questions for personal and group use
Join millions of readers who have been captivated by this popular tale of love, courage, and faith.

"Francine Rivers puts readers right into the history of the moment."
Romantic Times

"Francine Rivers without a doubt is one of the finest storytellers of our generation. . . . No one reading her books will ever be the same again."
Debbie Macomber, New York Times bestselling author

"As we 'watch' Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The 'costumes' may vary, but our Lord does not change."
Angela Hunt

"Francine redefined Christian fiction―honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing―demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God's truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way."
Liz Curtis Higgs

"Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian fiction."
Bodie Thoene

If you are a lover of historical pieces, this is a must read for you! This trilogy had my captuvated throughout and upset that it hadn't continued on. You will gasp, you will laugh, you will cry. You may even blurt out "WHAT" occasionally. I have read it every few years, usually in the winter when I can snuggle up on the couch for a few hours at a time. (The only series I have re-read.) I enjoy Francine Rivers wholesome style and storylines as a whole. However, I would say that this set of hers gave me my first taste of the enjoyment of breaking free from educational reading into fictional reading. Far from the first fictional books i have read, but the 1st books to carry me away or transport me so to speak into the characters space and time. I recently downloaded it on to audible to enjoy thru a new avenue.
