Kassandra's privileged and pampered life explodes when she meets a woman with next to nothing. When a glimpse into the lives of those less fortunate turns into a mission to help them, her father offers a choice: act like the daughter of a politarch and marry the man he has chosen--or leave home forever.

Unimaginable loss shakes Jason's world to its foundation, and he struggles to keep his faith in the Jewish God. He faces losing everything generations of his family have built, and one of the city's elite seems determined to make that happen.

A visiting Jewish preacher shakes up the synagogue?and then the town?with outrageous claims. Paulos's teachings fascinate Kassi but contradict everything Jason believes. As pressure amps up on every side, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to follow The Way.
