Description
Rome, the eternal city, but also a stage for intrigue, persecution, and secrets. A light in the night of Rome, Jesús Sánchez Adalid transports us to the heart of the Empire in a turbulent time, where architectural and political grandeur coexists with the darkness of conspiracies and the birth of new beliefs.
The novel combines historical rigor with an engaging narrative, showing how daily life, power struggles, and the rise of Christianity transformed the most powerful city in the world. Realistic characters—senators, soldiers, slaves, and believers—intersect in a mosaic that reflects both the brutality and the hope of a pivotal era.
Sánchez Adalid, a master of the historical novel, transforms imperial Rome into a living stage: the streets, the temples, the catacombs and the palaces become the backdrop for a story that speaks of faith, resistance and destiny.
