As Sure as the Sea
by Jamie Ogle
A.D. 308. Demitria Caepio and her brother Theseus are expert divers, by day harvesting pearls and coral for a merchant who turns a blind eye to the fact that they are Christians, a dangerous identity in the face of the edicts Emperor Diocletian has passed to eradicate believers. By night, Demi and Theseus assume a far riskier and more difficult task: going upriver to trade goods on the underground Christian network, becoming the lifeline that supports the believers still living in Myra and its port village of Andriake. Demi seems fearless, but her bravado is a cover for her secret shame and guilt. She doubts she can ever do enough good to overcome the fallout of her greatest misstep years before.
