Marcus' Last Stand by Brianna Zonneveld and illustrated by Emily Brett
94 pages, black and white,
It’s 99 AD and Trajan is Emperor of Rome. Christianity is looked down on, and Trajan wants nothing more than to see the new religion’s leader, Clement, killed. And he knows exactly how to accomplish his mission: capture a Christian, and torture him into submission.
Meanwhile, 15-year-old Marcus is struggling with his faith, even after a humiliating event in his past. When Marcus is arrested and imprisoned, he must choose between his faith and his life. Will he bend under torture? Or will he make the ultimate sacrifice?
