The Sisters of Corinth (#02 in The Emissaries Series)
Angela HuntPaperback 2024-05-21
Synopsis:
Chief magistrate Narkis Ligus sees a golden opportunity to propel himself to greater power and fortune by marrying one of his beautiful daughters to the new governor's firstborn son. Yet Mariana's faith in Yeshua makes her as reluctant to wed a man who worships Roman gods as her jealous and status-obsessed stepsister, Prima, is determined to wed him.
_**When the new provincial governor arrives in Corinth, the esteemed Chief Magistrate Narkis Ligus, father to Mariana and Prima, is delighted. He sees a golden opportunity to propel himself to greater power and fortune by uniting his and the governor's households through the marriage of one of his beautiful unwed daughters to the governor's firstborn son.
Yet complications quickly arise in Narkis's own family. Mariana, his stepdaughter, holds steadfast faith in Yeshua, rendering her hesitant to marry a man devoted to the Roman gods, despite Narkis's urging. On the other hand, Prima, his daughter by birth, yearns for a life of wealth and status and is willing to go to great lengths to secure a marriage that fulfills her desires--even if it means betraying Mariana to do so.
"Angela Hunt takes her craft to new heights--and depths--as she fully immerses us in the lives and struggles of first-century followers of Yeshua... Hunt's vast biblical knowledge shines through on every page while never overshadowing her master storytelling... I couldn't stop reading."--Tamera Alexander, bestselling author on **_The Emissaries Series #1 The Woman from Lydia.
