"You will be called Anippe, daughter of the Nile. Do you like it?" Without waiting for a reply, she pulls me into her squishy, round tummy for a hug. I’m trying not to cry. Pharaoh's daughters don't cry. When we make our way down the tiled hall, I try to stop at ummi Kiya's chamber. I know her spirit has flown, yet I long for one more moment. Amenia pushes me past so I keep walking and don't look back. Like the waters of the Nile, I will flow.

But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Amazing!
This is my favourite book series, Mark the Lion. Echo in the darkness is my favourite book in that series. It is full of historical description. The characters are well developed, this book I’ve read and listen to multiple times it’s full of encouragement, hope and faith. I highly recommend it and the rest of the series!

Oh wow!! I guess l spoke too soon.
l thoroughly enjoyed this 2nd book of The Mark of the Lion series, and l think l spoke too soon on the first book, but that was my experience. Please read the entire series. I found out a few Bible truths and others have become more engraved and imprinted on my heart within the pages of this 2nd book. I can't wait to read the last one! Am happy that the same narrator's beautiful voice continues.

5 stars!
"An Echo in the Darkness" by Francine Rivers is an absolutely amazing book that had me completely hooked from start to finish. I listened to the Audible series, and the narration was excellent, adding to the overall experience. The character of Hadassah, hidden under a veil, added a captivating mystery to the story. I would definitely give it five stars. The book explores themes of faith, love, redemption, and sacrifice, and the characters' journeys are compelling and thought-provoking. Overall, it's a gripping historical novel that I couldn't stop listening to.

The search for truth and forgiveness
I love the deep love and emotion involved with their faith in these books... the hopelessness, the fear, the depth of love and faithfulness when they find Christ. it's truly a beautiful series
Unfortunately it has too much sex and violence so I can't recommend it to everyone, but it's one I want to buy and tell everyone to read! it's soo good. I've gone through the series twice now.
I think I also appreciate the extra historical accuracy though because although it means I can't recommend to the softer folks, it's one of the few I can recommend to like a little heavier.

Such a great story. So emotional. So much truth, beauty and transformation. A must read. Changes one’s own heart. Brings the truth and love of God to light in the understanding of what it really is to die to one’s self. Wonderfully read. Can’t wait for the next book.
