Inspirational Historical
In the 3rd century, pampered Roman princess Valeria falls in
love with Mauritius, captain of the Theban Legion. She sends
him off to battle, where he suffers under the schemes of a
notorious pagan general with an ambition for power and a
lust for Valeria. In a scene based on true events, the evil
Galerius kills Mauritius and his entire legion for their
Christian faith. And in a shocking turn of events, the
grieving Valeria is forced to become Galerius’ wife against
her will. Never has a marriage been set up for such failure. Valeria loathes her new husband, but he seems to undergo a
change of heart, adopting a child for her and giving her
power and authority, and even love. She struggles with the
commitment she knows she must keep, and the love she knows
she will never find again.
