AWARD-WINNING DEBUT NOVEL BY HAZEL DAINS
Two Sisters, One Fate: A Journey of Love, Survival, and Faith in Ancient Rome
In a city where whispers of a new faith ignite both hope and peril, two orphaned sisters find their lives forever changed by love and danger. Seven Hills One Light weaves a tale of passion, resilience, and faith that readers of The Nightingale and The Book Thief will love.
In the heart of Rome, danger lurks around every corner as rumors of Christianity spread through the streets. For Tryphosa and Tryphena, life is a precarious dance of survival-they are unmarried, vulnerable, and devoted to their faith in the enigmatic teachings of Jesus. With the telltale symbol of the fish discreetly hidden behind their ears, they live in constant fear of discovery.
When a sudden upheaval shatters their fragile existence, leaving them homeless and desperate, Phosa and Phena are forced to make choices that could seal their fates. Navigating a city rife with political intrigue and threats to their very survival, the sisters grapple with profound questions about their faith. As they struggle to reclaim their lives, the unexpected arrival of two captivating men-each harboring their own secrets-turns their world upside down and tests their resolve in ways they never anticipated.
Amid the chaos, a fiery romance ignites between Phosa and Simon, a passionate young man whose magnetic presence challenges her beliefs and stirs desires she thought she could suppress. Their connection is electric yet fraught with danger, as every stolen moment becomes a risky gamble against the backdrop of a city that seeks to destroy them. Meanwhile, Phena finds herself drawn to a charismatic Jewish moneylender whose charm promises a life of luxury and safety but also entangles her in a web of societal expectations and moral dilemmas.
As the stakes heighten and tensions rise, the sisters must confront the ultimate question: Can their faith withstand the trials of love, or will their hearts lead them down paths of betrayal and despair?
In her enthralling debut, Hazel Dains crafts a spellbinding narrative of passion, betrayal, and courage set against the dramatic backdrop of ancient Rome. As faith and love intertwine, readers will be captivated by the sisters' journey, experiencing every heart-pounding twist and emotional turn.
