Set in ancient Alexandria during the reign of Roman Emperor Diocletian, the narrative delves into themes of faith, identity, and social upheaval, focusing on the complex interplay between Christians, Jews, and pagans in a city steeped in cultural diversity. The central character appears to be Hazaël, a Jewish steward, whose relationship with Philoremus, a Roman official accused of Christianity, unfolds against the backdrop of rising tensions and persecution. The opening of "The Just Steward" vividly paints the bustling atmosphere of Alexandria as it describes the city’s agricultural richness and vibrant trade amidst the scars of past sieges. The narrative introduces key characters, notably Hazaël, who returns to find his master, Philoremus, in grave danger due to accusations of embracing Christianity. As political and religious tensions escalate, Hazaël is determined to support his master, bravely confronting the potential fallout from changing allegiances and the consequences of faith. The reader is instantly drawn into a world where loyalty, sacrifice, and survival are interwoven with themes of divine intervention and hope.
