Читать книгу Valeria's Cross - Kathi Macias - Страница 4

Though Valeria’s Cross is a book of courage and adventure, it is ultimately a love story. And so I dedicate this book to the love of my life, my husband, Al, and to my First Love, my precious Lord Jesus.

Thank you to Voice of the Martyrs for their updated version of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, which first introduced me to the Theban Legion and birthed the idea for this book.

—Kathi Macias

To my friends, Betty Motes and J. M., for the trip to Diocletian’s castle in Split, Croatia, and many of the other magical places on the Mediterranean Sea. Old Broads at Sea was my inspiration to write this story about the emperor’s daughter, Valeria, and his wife, Prisca.

This book is dedicated to my mother, Mimi; my daughter, Megan; and my granddaughter, Hailey Blu, for inspiring me to tell stories.
