Ebook
Two women occupy a place in Herod's court. The first, Salome, is
the king's only sister, a resentful woman who has been told she is
from an inferior race, a people God will never accept or
approve.
The second woman, Zara, is a lowly handmaid who serves Salome, but
where Salome spies conspiracies and treachery, Zara sees hurting
people in need of understanding and compassion.
Powerful and powerless, Idumean and Jew, selfish and selfless--both
women struggle to reach their goals and survive in Herod the
Great's tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is
safe.
