      Hlavná hrdinka knihy Abigail, je mladá dievčina, ktorej život sa zmenil na labyrint ťažkých rozhodnutí. Keď objavila Mesiáša a pridala sa k jeho nasledovníkom, objavila nový zmysel svojho bytia. Možno má jej život nejakú budúcnosť- budúcnosť v Ježišovi. Ale odporcovia Kristovho učenia sa nevzdávajú, a chcú prenasledovať jeho nasledovníkov ,,až do skončenia sveta.“ A sama Abigail stojí na pokraji rozhodovania. Možno venovala svoje srdce nesprávnemu mužovi. Už dvaja nápadníci ju požiadali o ruku a ponúkli jej manželstvo. Jeden z nich je úspešný hebrejský obchodník, vdovec, hľadajúci matku pre svoje deti. Na druhej strane je rímsky vojak Linux, ktorý je uchvátený jej pôvabom, a chce jej ponúknuť lásku po ktorej túži. Ale jej srdce nie je oddané ani jednému z nich. Štefan, jeden z nasledovníkov Krista, má charakter a vieru, ktorá Abigail uchvátila. Ale Štefan sa svojimi kázaniami vystavuje príliš veľkému nebezpečenstvu. Vydrží Abigailina viera a odvaha? Objaví sa iskra nádeje, ktorú nikdy načakala? Druhý diel z trilógie: Leona - Abigail - Judita.
