At the trial of Christ, Theophilus, brilliant young assessor raised in the Roman
aristocracy, stands behind Pontius Pilate and whispers, "Offer to release
Barabbas." The strategy backfires, and Theophilus never forgets the sight of
an innocent man unjustly suffering the worst of all possible deaths-Roman
crucifixion. Three decades later, Theophilus has proven himself in the legal
ranks of the Roman Empire. He has survived the insane rule of Caligula and
has weathered the cruel tyrant's quest to control the woman he loves. He has
endured the mindless violence of the gladiator games and the backstabbing
intrigue of the treason trials. Now he must face another evil Caesar, defending
the man Paul in Nero's deranged court. Can Theophilus mount a defense that
will keep another innocent man from execution? The advocate's first trial altered
the course of history. His last will change the fate of an empire.
