    Radiant Star by Ann Leckie

    Jonr is the chosen one! Chosen for a life of servitude to a wealthy
    stranger of uncertain temperament. Or so Jonr's parent planned. The
    actual fate that awaits Jonr will be very different: witnessing the
    fall of a civilization.

    Thank you.
    Is the Rome/Judea reference appropriate given that the Radchai religious principles were similar to the remaining two factions with the exception
    of the appointment of saints?
