About the Book
How can she love the king of kings without forsaking her Lord of lords?
Kasia grew up in a poor Jewish home with more siblings than luxuries. But when a chance encounter forces her to the palace of Xerxes, she becomes a concubine to the richest man in the world. She alone, of all Xerxes' wives, loves the man beneath the crown. She alone, of all his wives, holds the heart of the king of kings.
Traveling with Xerxes through Europe as he mounts a war against Greece, Kasia knows enemies surround her, but they’re not the Spartans or Athenians. The threat lies with those close to the king who hate her people. She determines to put her trust in Jehovah–even if it costs her her marriage.
Years of prayers are answered when Kasia's childhood friend arrives at the palace after the war, but even as she determines to see Esther crowned in place of the bloodthirsty former queen, she knows the true battle is far from over. How far will her enemies go to see her undone?
Combining the biblical account of Esther with Herodotus's Histories, Jewel of Persia is the story of a love that nearly destroys an empire . . . and the friendship that saves a nation.
If you haven't read Roseanna's books then you are truly missing an experience. She is one of the BEST writers of biblical fiction!

ReplyDeleteI'm jealous! xD jk I've been trying to get a copy of this book.
ReplyDeleteRoseanna's first book was phenomenal! The only other biblical fiction I had read that kept me that captivated was Francine Rivers' Mark of the Lion Series!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by this author. I usually read nonfiction but love Biblical fiction. You really made this sound enticing. I'll have to look up the first one.

Nice to see you, Pamela! If you've read Francine's series that I mentioned above, you will love Roseanna's first book! I know this one will be just as good. She is very gifted.
