In the early second century A.D., a conscientious Roman magistrate
assumes his duties in the tranquil Bithynian city of Diakropolis,
unaware that under its placid surface, a great and ancient evil
holds sway over the town and its citizens. Marcellus, the
magistrate, soon finds himself at odds with Siros, a powerful
merchant and leader of the Order of Croesus, a sinister and secret
organization that controls the city's commerce and politics.
As Marcellus unwittingly begins to uncover a yet darker and
more evil enterprise of the Order--the exploitation and persecution
of the local Christian church--he finds himself drawn into the
raging conflict between the laws of the empire he is sworn to serve
and the faith of the fledgling sect. On a whirlwind ride through
treachery, temptation and political intrigue, the magistrate braves
calamities of all kinds in a quest for justice and truth, along the
way finding unexpected allies among those who bear the curse of the
empire. Filled with memorable characters and events, "The
Magistrate" brims with heart-pounding action and thought-provoking
messages that will leave a lasting impact on its readers. The
adventure concludes in "A Worthy Sacrifice, " volume three of "The
Magistrate."
