What Our Eyes Have Witnessed

The citizens of second-century Rome are a desperate people, divided by caste, religion?and the restless dead rising up to feast on the living. The patricians cling to the old faith, hoping to appease their ancestors by lavishing food upon the tombs of the dead, even as the city's poor starve in the streets. Rome's leaders blame the zombie outbreak on the Christians, certain their rejection of the old ways has left the ancestors restless and starving for flesh. But Father Polycarp, leading the Christian gathering, believes the restless dead are haunted by the physical and spiritual hunger of their living days. Blessed (or cursed) with the Apostle's Gift, only Polycarp can ease the torment of their suffering ? at great cost to himself. At his hands, the restless dead slide to the earth, peaceful and still. Yet for the Roman praetor, Caius Lucius Justus, Polycarp's only power lies in his death, which Caius Lucius believes will free Rome from the zombie crisis. To save the Eternal City, Polycarp will have to stand against the might and corruption of Roman justice and the terrible moaning of the ravenous dead in the captivating and haunting second installment of Stant Litore's Zombie Bible series.
