About this ebook
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 into one volume.
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:
“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

You won't be able to put it down . Although they are historical fiction the characters face many of the same moral issues we face today. I love the way Mrs. Rivers uses scripture throughout the book. I also enjoy the digging deeper bible study at the end of each book. You can't read her books and not feel the Lord Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you while you write, and give Him all the glory.

i was in county jail for the first time and affraid of everyone around me. i wanted to read a thriller kind of book and saw the title; "MARK of the LION, ECHO'S of DARKNESS" and on the cover it had 2 lions on its hind legs facing each other. i saw that and said to myself hey this will be cool. took the book back to my cell and started reading it. let me tell you, this book is very powerful!!! i could not put it down. You feel like your actually walking with the characters and you feel what they feel. i started sharing this with the rest of the inmates then we started having reading times where we read a chapter or so out loud for the those who couldnt read and then had discussions about what we read. It was such an amazing book. i loved it. i truly recommend reading it. it will give you a whole new outlook on christianity. thank you for reading.

This set is my favorite of all books. I dont want to give anything away. But the story is set in the Roman times with gladiators and Christians. The 1st story is based on a very young girl who suffers through some horrific events in her life with God by her side. And introduces some rather unique characters. Very well written. Have reread them several times. A must read on your book bucket list!
