Striking beauty comes at a price. Rahab paid it when at the age of 15 she was sold into prostitution by the one man she loved and trusted—her father. With her keen mind and careful planning she turned heartache into success, achieving independence while still young. And she vowed never again to trust a man. Any man. God had other plans.

Publisher's Summary
Whispered secrets about her parents’ past take on new urgency for Chariline as she pays one last visit to the land of her forefathers, the ancient kingdom of Cush.
Raised as an orphan by her aunt, Chariline has only been told a few pieces of her parents’ tragic love story. Her beautiful dark skin is proof that her father was Cushite, but she knows nothing else. While visiting her grandfather before his retirement as the Roman official in the queen’s court, Chariline overhears that her father is still alive, and discovering his identity becomes her obsession. Both her grandfather and the queen have reasons for keeping this secret, however, and forbid her quest. So when her only clues lead to Rome, Chariline sneaks on the ship of a merchant trusted by friends.
Theo is shocked to discover a stowaway on board his vessel and determines to be rid of her as soon as possible. But drawn in by Chariline’s story, he feels honor-bound to see her safely to shore, especially when it appears someone may be willing to kill for the truth she seeks.
In this transformative tale of historical fiction, best-selling author Tessa Afshar brings to life the kingdom of Cush and the Roman Empire, introducing listeners to a fascinating world filled with gripping adventure, touching romance, and a host of lovable characters - including some they may recognize from the biblical book of Acts.

Okay Book
Overall, a good story. It has some unexpected twists and turns, and yet it is somewhat predictable. The narrator has a strong voice and the ability to use different tones for different characters. But, some of them were a little annoying.

Beware of the high pitched voices
All in all it’s a fantastic story, but when the narrator uses a high pitched voice, it throws off the story. It’s literally like nails on a chalkboard

The story was good
I did not appreciate the different voices the reader used to depict the different characters. Some were hard to understand, and some were so screechy you didn’t want to listen to it.

Unbearable Narration but Good Story
The story was engaging, but the voices the narrator chose for the female characters were unnecessarily shrill and cartoon-like and almost unbearable to listen to. I had to stop listening and didn’t finish the story because of it. Unfortunate choice of narrator.

Great story
Loved the story, but I’m sorry-the narration was pretty awful. Especially for the heroine, she sounded like an overexcited 7 yr old. So sorry to say it.

Story is good, performances are a little hard to listen to
The story is good, but it’s hard to enjoy as the character voices are very childlike (main character has the voice of a 10yo but she is supposed to be 24…) and it’s almost not worth listening to…

Trouble understanding
I was so excited to buy this book. I feel so disappointed because the voices was choosen for this book so poor. This review only for the audio. I am going to read the book and see if makes any difference. Choosing the voice is so important. May be this something autour needed to consider when writing the next book. I regret that I wasted my $16 to buy this book. The story may be great but I couldn't really dive in to it because of the voices. I read the review . Readers did complain about the voices. I kinda ignored it. That was wrong...
