The story tells the tale of Korre, a young man who grew up in Brittania at the time of Jesus. Our story begins when Korre is captured outside his home village in Brittania and sold to slave traders who, in turn, sell him to a gladiator school. Once trained as a gladiator, Korre fights three times in the Roman arena before being bought by a Roman official to serve as a bodyguard. The official takes Korre with him to Judea, and when the official is assassinated there, Korre is forced to become a Roman soldier. All of the events in Korres life prepare him to be Jesus companion and protector during Jesus time in the wilderness before his ministry becomes public.
