The Sword And The Promise Historical Fiction Paperback Book by Benjamin Siegel

Captured and sold as a Roman slave, Bias, the Greek, had seen his mother slain and his father whipped to death by the hated Roman masters. 

He was branded with a white-hot iron on his forehead, not only for punishment, but as a spectacle to amuse Gallus, who owned him body and soul, and Gallus' sadistic, man-hungry wife.

But Bias dreamed of freedom and, when his chance came, he fled Rome, leaving behind his murdered master and the vengeful fury of Roman justice. 

He sailed to Alexandria, where, among the Jews, he practiced the arts of healing and learned the customs of this proud and unique people. 

Here, he found his destiny, in the arms of the beautiful Jewess, Naamah, and under the banners of Bar-Kochba, the brave leader who sought to free his people from the Roman yoke.
