Chinese Summary/中文概要： “這座城市在烈日下靜靜地膨脹，像成千上萬具屍體在巷尾的戰鬥中腐爛。”這是本書的開篇序曲。《風中的承諾》帶領讀者回到基督死後七十年，在耶路撒冷發動的第一次猶太羅馬戰爭時期。一群驕傲自豪的充滿著激情的猶太人，受困於當時的羅馬人和野蠻人的進攻，小說主要講述了一個意志堅定的女奴哈達莎和她主人的哥哥馬庫斯，一位英俊的貴族之間淒婉的浪漫愛情故事。哈達莎在家人經歷了大屠殺，慘遭羅馬人摧殘的耶路撒冷城之后被俘，賣給了一個富裕的商人家庭。被帶至羅馬，被迫淪為朱莉亞•瓦勒良的個人享樂工具。哈達莎努力追隨耶穌的腳步，以他的教導世人的方式對待她的主人，但她迫于生存而隱藏了自己的宗教信仰身份。孤獨和困擾，她只有將自己對上帝堅定信仰，巧妙地融入到她那些主人的生活中。魯莽，衝動和邪惡，朱莉亞試圖處處刁難哈達莎。但朱莉亞的哥哥，馬庫斯卻截然不同。二人的愛情有可能會在他們不同的生活背景，還有哈達莎堅定不移的和馬庫斯缺失的信仰鴻溝下迸出耀眼的火花嗎？同時，一位被俘的日爾曼士兵阿底特勒斯，被迫成為一位角鬥士。此時正是羅馬帝國夕陽西下之時，而作為一個生存在文明逐漸頹廢邊緣的強大的野蠻人必須為生存舞臺生死相搏。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：Review
"Francine Rivers puts readers right into the history of the moment..." -- Romantic Times
"Franicine Rivers without a doubt is one of the finest storytellers of our generation. She transports the reader to another time another place with such skill that one feels every emotion, every trauma, every life. Her adventures captured me from the first page until I breathlessly closed the book in absolute awe of her God-given talent. Francine unlocks the longing in each one of us to connect to God in a deeper, life-changing way. No one reading her books will ever be the same again." ---Debbie Macomber, New York Times Best-selling Author
"The Mark of the Lion series was my first introduction to Francine Rivers, and since its introduction I’ve been reading everything Francine writes. Her stories are not only gripping entertainment, they are life-changing adventures. As we `watch’ Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The `costumes’ may vary, but our Victorious Lord does not change." ---Angela Hunt, Award-Winning Author of Doesn’t She Look Natural
"Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian Fiction..."--- Bodie Thoene, winner of 8 ECPA Gold Medallion Awards for Christian Fiction
"More than a dozen years ago, a bookseller urged me to read the Mark of the Lion trilogy. I devoured each novel, drawn into Hadassah’s world and challenged by Hadassah’s faith. Page by page, I walked the streets of Jerusalem, of Rome, of Ephesus, led by a sure hand. Not only did Francine thoroughly research her setting; she also plumbed the depths of God’s Word and the desperate corners of the human heart to create a story so gripping, so spiritually and emotionally satisfying, it could only come from a pen wholly dedicated to God. In a word, Francine redefined Christian fiction--honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing--demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God’s truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way." ---Liz Curtis Higgs, author of the best-selling Lowlands of Scotland series
