About this listen

First-century Corinth is a city teeming with commerce and charm. It's also filled with danger and corruption - the perfect setting for Ariadne's greatest adventure.

After years spent living with her mother and oppressive grandfather in Athens, Ariadne runs away to her father's home in Corinth, only to discover the perilous secret that destroyed his marriage: Though a Greek of high birth, Galenos is the infamous thief who has been robbing the city's corrupt of their ill-gotten gains.

Desperate to keep him safe, Ariadne risks her good name, her freedom, and the love of the man she adores to become her father's apprentice. As her unusual athletic ability leads her into dangerous exploits, Ariadne discovers she secretly revels in playing with fire. But when the wrong person discovers their secret, Ariadne and her father find their future - and very lives - hanging in the balance.

When they befriend a Jewish rabbi named Paul, they realize his radical message challenges everything they've fought to build, yet offers something for which neither dared hope.

Be transported back in time by this gripping tale of adventure, bravery, and redemption, and discover why Debbie Macomber says, "No one brings the Bible to life like Tessa Afshar."

Surprisingly wonderful!!!

I love historical fiction but it’s rare to find one that is biblical, historical but also well written.

Tessa is a great writer. But she also faithfully represents the biblical characters she includes. Furthermore, the whole time period comes alive.

I look forward to the rest of her works!

Best story every!

I absolutely loved it. This author has a true gift from the God. She got me projecting myself in these real people's lives. I felt myself getting angry when someone was stubborn. Towards the end I could barely contain myself. I could see myself living among and enter acting with Paul, Athanas, and 2 other people in her book. I'm going to follow this author .

Tessa Afshar is my favorite Biblical author.

I love how she entwine people from the Bible in her books. I first heard her on Moody Radio and purchased Pearl In the Sand and every book she's authored since then. God truly has given her a talent.

nice. pre, post christian life in 1st century

story if life in 1st century Corinth with Paul's influence woven in very nicely instead of him being a central theme. good depiction of the times... what wealthy people wore, ate, homes, etc.

Fresh look at perfect love

This story provided a inspired refresher course on perfect love. The author, clearly blessed with skill, has a bright future filled with hope and promise. Narration sounds young, learned, and crisp and was pleasing to hear. The audio editing quality is subpar—-the excellent writing and pleasant voice stopped me from exercising Audible’s return policy. I expected better from this publisher. Overall, I recommend this book for all age 12 and up.

Righteous Thief

Tessa is one who draws you in at the start. This book, like so many of her other books, just leaves the reader thankful to have been pulled away. The book is more than a good read🙌🏾💞
