Then, Hadassah, the slave, and Marcus, the Roman master and heir to a fortune, realize that they are falling in love. Hadassah attempts to serve these people as Christ would have her serve them and to witness to the truth of the gospel in her life while keeping her Christian identity a secret. Only because of the old double standard, Marcus can indulge himself in living selfishly as a libertine with few consequences while Julia is expected to behave herself, do as she is told, and avoid scandal. Julia has an older brother Marcus who is as spoiled and pleasure-loving as his baby sister. Hadassah’s mistress is Julia, a spoiled, willful brat who becomes worse in character as the story progresses. She is taken to Rome as a slave where she becomes the personal servant of the daughter of the house of the patrician family Valerian. A Voice in the Wind is the story of Hadassah, a young Jewish Christian who survives the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Liz Curtis Higgs says (on the back of the book), “This series is without peer in Christian fiction!” Janet Parshall liked it, too. A Voice in the Wind is the first book in The Mark of the Lion series by Christian author Francine Rivers.
