Glaucia the Greek Slave

When Glaucia and her brother Laon are sold into slavery to pay their father's debts, everything they knew vanishes. Separated at the slave market in Rome, Glaucia finds herself in the household of a Roman senator while Laon disappears into the brutal world of the mines. But the siblings have not forgotten each other, and as Glaucia works beneath the shadow of her master's cruelty, she begins to piece together clues about their mother's mysterious disappearance years before. Her search leads her through the dangerous streets of ancient Rome and eventually to Athens, where she encounters followers of a controversial new faith that offers hope to the enslaved. In a world where a human being can be bought and sold like pottery, Glaucia must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to find her brother and uncover the truth of her family's past. This is a story of resilience and courage set against the vivid backdrop of the first century, where faith and freedom hang in delicate balance.
