10.0 out of 10.0 stars
An epic adventure set in ancient Roman times, a young boy is taken. His name is Anakus. As the title suggests, he is a Roman slave, a reluctant warrior, and a redeemed soul. Stephen Phillips writes with soul-capturing scenes, heroism, and eloquence, capturing the saving love of a Savior. A Savior who knows our pain and sees us in our lives.
The ancient Roman Empire was built on savagery and conquest. This is no understatement for Anakus (known as Felix, a new name from his captors). Felix (Anakus) lives as one who is forced into something he did not choose. With only his will to survive, his journey takes readers on a quest for freedom of soul and body – one that is memorable, traumatic, and heartbreaking. Anakus is a saga of historic proportions.
Fast-paced and haunting, a village plundered, families torn apart – Anakus’s survival has just begun. Filled with descriptive imagery, the author draws readers in and captivates them with the story of Anakus - Igniting a passion to all who read his story - one that is forever burning in the heart of all who have lived. A fight to live, a fight for freedom, a fight for everything one has known. This is the story of Anakus!
A fascinating, thrilling epic saga of a boy taken from home. His life was never the same. Yet, Anakus finds the one who knew him before the winds, before the chains, before the marauders invaded. Anakus is an overcomer, a warrior, and a redeemed soul.
An exhilarating ride through the sands of time, Ancient Rome – to find the One, Jesus of Nazareth! A truly breathtaking journey. You will not be disappointed!
