This book, set in the early centuries of the Common Era, tells the story of Aphrodise, a young princess who dedicates her life to spreading the Christian faith. After her father, King Denys, leaves to preach to faraway lands, Aphrodise, guided by an angel, convinces him to return and assume his royal duties. When the island kingdom is invaded, Aphrodise is taken captive along with her mother. She refuses to renounce her faith, leading to her mother's execution and her own imprisonment. Through visions and angelic intervention, Aphrodise manages to convert her captors and escape. She eventually arrives in a new land, where she continues to spread Christianity and is martyred for her beliefs. The author explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the power of divine intervention in the face of adversity.
