Planting Faith book 1
by Carole Towriss
| -From Amazon- Taught to hear messages from the goddess from a young age, Elantia’s life is shattered when she is captured from her home in southwest Britannia and sold as a slave in Macedonia. She wants nothing more than to escape and return home—after she kills the man who took the only good thing left in her life. Tossed aside by the Empire, wounded tribune Quintus Valerius ends up in sleepy Philippi to retire. Manipulated into becoming the prison keeper, he vows to return to Rome as soon as possible to reclaim his reputation and his life. He is intrigued by the quiet Jewish teacher who speaks of truth and peace, but is convinced he can never have either. When Elantia’s shocking actions shake up the town and her life is threatened, Quintus risks what little he has left to save her—only to put Paulos and his friends in even greater danger. ASIN: B07K7YFGXL Faith springs up in the most unlikely places... Carole Towriss is a name that I kept hearing in Biblical fiction reading circles but up until now I hadn't read any of her books. After reading a recommendation from another Biblical fiction author that I trust, I decided to check her books out. It isn't often that I choose a book based on recommendations, the cover, or title, but Sold Into Freedom turned out to be a 'D: All The Above' type thing. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

I only read part of the blurb for this book so I really had no preconceived ideas about what to expect. I was intrigued by the story pretty much right off. Elantia and Quintus are on opposite sides of Rome's battle to subjugate Britannia; she is a chief's daughter taken captive and he is a Roman soldier.
I was quite a ways into the book before some of the story started to seem a little familiar. I loved how Carole Towriss took two obscure and unnamed people in the book of Acts and wove an exciting story around them that was both familiar and different.
If you like Biblical fiction and you are ready for a story of darkness and faith you should check out Sold Into Freedom, the title really says it all...
