The narrative is rooted in a critical period of Roman rule over Judea, exploring themes of class struggle and the nature of power and oppression, primarily through the characters surrounding Jesus of Nazareth, including a young slave named Genevieve. The opening sets the stage for conflicts between the ruling classes and the burgeoning movements led by Jesus, intertwining personal stories and societal critiques.  At the start of the novel, Genevieve, a slave, accompanies her mistress Aurelia to a lavish supper hosted by Pontius Pilate in Jerusalem. Among the guests are influential figures such as the high priest Caiphus and several wealthy senators, who express growing discontent with Jesus and his radical teachings. Their discussions reveal deep-seated fears regarding Jesus's influence on the poor and the potential for social upheaval as they perceive his ideas as a threat to their power. As the narrative progresses, Genevieve’s curiosity about Jesus grows, leading to a plot that promises to explore her evolving understanding of freedom and the consequences of the Nazarene’s teachings amidst the historical backdrop of oppression and class conflict.
