This is a story of the days of persecution of Christians under the
Emperor Septimius Severus. The scene is mainly laid in Alexandria and
the Libyan Desert. The Egyptian gods were worshiped under the form of
a small triangular stone. The book relates in a vivid and intensely
interesting manner the narrow escapes of an Egyptian lad who has become
a Christian, and the manner in which his family accept his faith and
escape from Alexandria.
