But then she met the handsome and mysterious Taurus Antinor and his mission. And her life changed forever. Could she survive the blood crazed politics of Rome?

Up to the time when the Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the empire This is one such novel. Unto Caesar book blogspot 9781406891690 Selected this book to read because I love anything related to the Roman empire plus it was available as a free read on my e reader I enjoyed the character descriptions of Caligula and Taurus Antinor at first but had a hard time believing the so called innocence of Dea Flavia Augusta relative of Caligula She and the emperor were at the top of society Roman emperors became emperors and stayed in that position because they were ruthless Their relatives accepted the existence of power plays and worked within the system and sometimes out of it to maintain their own power and status positions. Unto caesarland okemos The author would have the reader believe that Dea Flavia was a protected child with no experience of reality Her young girl s crush and resulting mental emotional turmoil on Taurus Antinor was a perfect case of a spoiled brat being denied something she wanted And the HEAVY religious overtones were overpowering I had to force myself to finish the book A great book for those who are looking for stories to verify their own personal religious beliefs 9781406891690 This book is occasionally overwrought but the Christian message is very clear Taurus Antinor must choose between his love for Christ and his love for Dea Flavia Following Christ means rendering unto Caesar those things that are his.
