summon us home.”
“Yes!” Pontius pumped his fist. “God has not forgotten us.” He wrapped Cyprian in a bear hug, then pulled away when Cyprian failed to embrace him. “Why are you not pleased, my lord?”
“If Aspasius is still in power, our return will not be without challenge. He will dispatch an escort to see us safely delivered to his court.” Cyprian folded the letter. “Mark my words, no matter what I do, that eel will still find a way to see me martyred in the arena.”
Pontius swallowed. “And Lisbeth? What news does Ruth give of your wife?”
Cyprian read the widow’s words one more time, praying he’d missed something in his haste the first time through, then shook his head. “Not one word.”
Don't miss the rest of the adventure!
In this continuation of The Carthage Chronicles, Lisbeth, a 21st-century doctor, travels back through time to the 3rd century once again to rescue her husband from martyrdom and eradicate a plague, but the arrival of a second epidemic forces her to make the impossible choice: save her husband or save her daughter?
