{"product_id":"9781940014593","title":"Salt \u0026 Sacrifice","description":"Exiled for their beliefs, the faithful have been imprisoned deep inside the salt mines of ancient Rome. For the empire, salt is a symbol of life and prosperity; for the Christian slaves who mine it, its only meaning is death. Barbaric persecution and cave-ins threaten to stamp them out entirely, but beyond the shafts their outlawed religion is growing more quickly each day.  Against the backdrop of rebellion and rising religious tension, Pallas, a retired master builder and former soldier, is searching for a mysterious engineering prodigy. His quest delivers him into the merciless jaws of the violent and corrupt salt trade, the cornerstone of Roman political power.   A determined traitor has acquired the means to exploit a war-torn province. This vicious tyrant is poised to strike, and Pallas must find the strength to stand against him.","brand":"Wise Ink Creative Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183368945904,"sku":"9781940014593","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940014593_p0.jpg?v=1763666233","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940014593","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
