Life holds great promise for 14th-century intellectual Thomas Torr, chosen by the illustrious John Wycliffe to help translate the Latin Vulgate into English. But the Roman Church punishes possession of an English Bible with death, and Thomas soon faces a baptism of fire that takes him from the British hinterlands to the catacombs of Rome. Jack Cavanaugh's award-winning novels bring significant events in the history of Christianity to life with thrilling drama and compelling characters.
