He was the son of a Galilean concubine--a Jewess and a Roman ambassador...
Step into the first-century life of Abenadar, who grew up among the people of Natzeret. He and the boy Yeshua, son of Yosef and Miryam, live in different realms, but both feel out of place. Perhaps that's why they defended each other ...and later became friends.
Follow Abenadar's rise through the ranks and units of the Roman Legion in Palestine until he becomes one of the lead Centurions in Jerusalem. When he accidentally rescues Ruth, a prostitute, and redeems her for himself, he becomes connected to the rumored prophet, Jesus. Ruth believes Jesus is the Messiah they've been waiting for. Abenadar is dubious. Yet, as part of the Roman Legion, he must follow the orders of Pilate--to crucify the prophet. If he does, will he lose Ruth's love?
