The Son

by David Sawyer

Two legions of Roman soldiers invade a remote mountain kingdom while on their way to subdue an anticipated rebellion in distant Israel. In the battle, the king is killed, and the queen and two daughters are taken captive. The prince, the Son, and his best friend survive the battle and pursue the Romans to Israel, hoping to rescue his family. They encounter Jesus and His disciples in Samaria where friend Noro becomes a disciple, but Prince Marcus continues his quest. He seeks out Barabbas, a Jewish rebel, and they plot the family's rescue from the Romans. Things don't go as planned, however, and Marcus reaches an unfortunate end.
