Livy wants freedom so badly she can taste it. Captured as a small child, she is forced to be the slave of Procula, Pontius Pilate's wife. Even though her mistress is kind, strong-willed Livy wants life on her terms. And slavery isn't part of the picture.
Just as Livy plots her escape, Procula comes to her with disturbing dreams about a slain lamb and a Jewish man with eyes that pierce the soul. What does it all mean? Who is the dark zealot who promises her freedom if she joins his cause? And what is true freedom, anyway?
