Rachel cares for the enemy, and more than broken bones heal as duty turns to love. Lucius embraces Joseph’s faith in Jesus, but sharing a faith doesn’t heal all wounds. Even before revealed secrets slice open old scars, Joseph wants no Roman son-in-law. With Rachel’s zealot brother suspecting he’s a Roman officer and his own brother planning to kill him when he returns, can Lucius survive long enough to change Joseph’s mind? Forgiven is the first volume in the Light in the Empire series, which follows the interconnected lives of four Roman families during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian. Each can be read as a stand-alone. The eight novels of the series will take you around the Empire, from Germania and Britannia to Thracia, Dacia, and Judaea and, of course, to Rome itself.

Among the many questions Father Amorth answers here are:•How can we recognize the action of the Evil One?•Can a person in the afterlife enter spiritually into a living person?•Which prayers of liberation are the most successful?•What are the four methods a demon uses to enter souls?•Can demons hide from an exorcist?•What are the six characteristics of evil spells?•Are all instances of clairvoyance managed by demons?•Is an exorcist infallible in his judgment and his ministry?•Why is there no longer any possibility of salvation for the fallen angels?•What are the arms of combat that each of us must use to do battle with evil?•And many more surprising facts about the Evil One and how to resist him.“We can do nothing against you because you are too protected!” cried the devils that Father Amorth battled. Let Father Amorth teach you in these pages how you, too, can be protected!
