Shortly thereafter, he resolves to seek God in order to curse him for taking Hadassah from him. He wanders about Ephesus and then Rome with a new pair of eyes that reveals the corrupt and broken nature of the two great cities. We start An Echo in the Darkness with the broken-hearted and hungry Marcus. Julia is the wholey self-absorbed, stubbornly independent daughter of Decimus. Marcus is the son of the prominent and abundantly wealthy Decimus Valerian. When we meet Hadassah she is a Christian Jew taken from Jerusalem to Rome to become a slave in the Valerian household. SPOILER ALERT, if you have not read the first book in the series I will give away some key details below by sharing the basis of An Echo in the Darkness. In An Echo in the Darkness Hadassah, Marcus and Julia take over the narrative – Rizpah and Atretes take the narrative of As Sure as the Dawn, the third and final book in the series. In the first book the reader is introduced to all the main characters: Hadassah, Marcus and Julia Valerian, Rizpah and Atretes. An Echo in the Darkness is the second book in Francine River’s Mark of the Lion historical fiction series.
