In the aftermath of Jesus's resurrection, Mary Magdalene and Simon Peter embark on a mission to spread his message of love and forgiveness throughout ancient Israel. Their journey takes them from town to town, encountering both acceptance and resistance as they navigate cultural differences and conflicts around land ownership.

In the sequel to this historical novel, Mary and Simon Peter face new challenges in their quest to continue spreading Jesus's teachings. A powerful Roman official arrives in Jerusalem with a decree that threatens the land ownership of many local families.

Mary and Simon Peter must navigate the complex political landscape, dealing with the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, and the treacherous Eliakim, who sees this as an opportunity to further undermine their efforts. As they face these challenges, Mary and Simon Peter's faith is tested, and they are forced to rely on each other more than ever before.

Meanwhile, Deborah, a trusted member of the group, discovers a hidden community of people living on the outskirts of Jerusalem. These people come from various backgrounds and cultures, including Samaritans and Gentiles.

Deborah realizes that their unique experiences and perspectives can provide valuable insight into spreading Jesus's message of love and forgiveness to a wider audience. She becomes determined to bridge the gap between these marginalized groups and the core disciples.

Ruth, now recovered from her earlier ordeal, takes on a leadership role within the group, particularly in organizing relief efforts for those affected by a devastating drought that hits Jerusalem. As resources dwindle and tensions rise among the people, Ruth's wisdom and compassion become crucial in maintaining unity and providing for those in need.

Her experiences also lead her to question the concept of land ownership and its impact on social justice. As Mary and Simon Peter continue their mission, their conflict with the Pharisees escalates, leading to higher stakes for themselves and their allies.

Internal conflicts within their own group of followers also emerge, testing their leadership abilities and challenging their relationships with one another. Despite these obstacles, Mary and Simon Peter remain steadfast in their commitment to spreading Jesus's message, even in the face of persecution and danger.
