The Emissaries

The Emissaries follows fictional women moving through Philippi, Corinth and Rome during the first century, when the Christian movement spread along the roads and sea routes of the Roman Empire. Each story places conversion and service inside a society structured by slavery, patronage, civic religion and imperial authority.

The emissaries are not official diplomats but believers who carry practical mercy into dangerous situations: freeing an exploited girl, resisting a marriage designed for political advancement, or sheltering Christians blamed for Rome’s fire. Across the trilogy, faith requires public choices that threaten property, status, family loyalty and life itself.
