BACK COVER:
How far would you go to save the ones you love?
Six years ago, impossible circumstances forced Dr. Lisbeth Hastings to leave behind the love of her life, not just in another country, but in another time. Her work as a top-notch epidemiologist and parenting her little girl helps alleviate the pain, but at night when her exhausted head hits the pillow, images of her beloved Cyprian haunt her sleep.
Cyprian Thascius returns from political exile a broken man. He’s lost his faith, the love of his life, and his purpose. He attempts to move on, to face the danger that is looming over Carthage, but when Cyprian’s true love suddenly reappears, his heart becomes as imperiled as the fledgling church he seeks to save.
Have the years that kept Lisbeth and Cyprian apart created too wide a chasm to bridge? In the midst of a new epidemic and rising oppression, will their love be the most costly fatality? Filled with gripping action and raw emotion, this spellbinding adventure of star-crossed lovers captivates with every turn of the page in this electric continuation of The Carthage Chronicles.

REVIEW:
Gentry has done it again! Book two in the The Carthage Chronicles had me
weeping and cheering right along with the main characters, Lisbeth and Cyprian.
Their struggle to forge a life from the ashes of Carthage’s diseased city made
my heart pound, and as the peril facing them ratcheted, so did my pulse rate.
Adding to the story’s overall appeal is Gentry’s enviable talent for
wordsmithing as witnessed in the following:
She thought she’d chosen her
future based on based on her experience in the past, but now it seemed her past
had been a preparation for the future…in the past.
Finally, weave in unfathomable sorrow with passionate hope and Return to Exile makes for an incredibably
entertaining read.
