A.D. 526 Antioch.

Something crooked is happening. A kinsman is missing and the famed soldier Belisarius may be involved. Just as sixteen year old nobleman Marcellus begins to discover clues, the apocalypse happens. Antioch is demolished. Now the family has no home. Marcellus must take up sword and wits to escort his beloved Byziana and her orphaned siblings to her betrothed in Constantinople...except her betrothed might be the very one who has ruined their life!

A mystery. A young love. A trunk of Scripture scrolls.

About the Book
Their World is Over. Everything is Destroyed.
All that’s left is a Trunk of Scripture Scrolls.

A broken life…Shoving aside the rubble covering his once-perfect life, Marcellus sees his home in ruins, his family scattered, and his faith broken by the unpredictable God who destroyed everything. Now he must escort his family on a perilous journey to Constantinople to find his lost uncle and recover the family’s missing fortune.

A cursed ring… His hidden love for bold and daring Byziana is complicated by one overwhelming fact–she is betrothed to sword-wielding Belisarius, Marcellus’s greatest foe. No one but Marcellus knows the danger, but his honor forbids him from revealing it.

A neglected trunk… Their hope lies in a trunk of Scripture scrolls. But they have no idea.

Kyrie Eleison. God have mercy.

“Church history is exciting, but not always told in an exciting way. As historical fiction, Trunk of Scrolls transports the reader to another time and place while making it all seem less remote. Written in vivid—sometimes almost poetic—prose, this is a page-turner. I’m sure that it will reach the wide audience that it deserves.”
– Dr. Michael S. Horton
“This exciting and engaging story takes us back to the sixth century in order to consider the most critical question of every age: Who is Jesus Christ? A great read!”
– Dr. Joel R. Beeke
“Trunk of Scrolls is a fascinating and entertaining story. A joy to read. If you like to be engaged as you read and see how Scripture can help you make good choices through difficult situations, this story is for you.”
– Dr. Darrell Bock
I love stories where families pull together as they struggle through all the difficulties and hardships of life – with only one true guiding light. This is exactly what you get in Trunk of Scrolls. You also get high drama in situations that will warm your heart, break your heart and strengthen your family. It will help your family see the only solution and what it means to follow Christ in a broken and threatening world.
– Pastor Scott Brown
“Trunk of Scrolls is an illuminating story written with the novelist’s eye for the telling detail. Darlene Bocek does more than tell a story—she breathes life into church history and inspires us to reverence for the Sacred Writings. A sparkling tale that is rich with meaning.”
