Publisher's summary

The king's sudden death leaves his son Manasseh as the new ruler. Overcome with sorrow, Manasseh is angry toward God and begins a reign of terror that shocks the kingdom. His own insecurity prompts the death of his closest advisors, dividing the faithful in two. Barely escaping the carnage, his best friend Joshua suffers the excruciating loss of his family and plans revenge.

Acclaimed author Lynn Austin has won three Christy Awards for her historical fiction.

Amazing story!

I love how Austin uses biblical research to write a story to bring that time and place alive for us. The story was very real and made you feel all the emotions the characters went through.

A True Winner

Lynn Austin not only writes in a captivating manner, but her ability to weave an interesting story that is also historically sound makes this a fascinating and entertaining experience. Once again, Suzanne Token delivers an outstanding performance.

Great Historical Fiction of an Awful time in History

I knew this would be a hard read because I knew Manasseh was a terrible king in Judah. Lynn Austin got me hooked and I couldn't stop listening.

Good Stuff!

Lynn Austin did a GREAT JOB with the storyline that she had to follow. Every time I read one of the books from this series I wonder how she ever did it! Austin did take a few (nessary) creative libertys, but the overall storyline/facts are correct. The best part of this series is how it encouraged me to view the Old Testament as more than a bunch of random facts about ancient people. It really helped me picture what it might have been like, and reminded me that these old Bible characters had real emotions, and real strugglels. I know I'll never look at Old Testament stories in the same way.

Enchanting

This is a wonderful story that helps bring previously boring biblical characters to adventurous life. This book had me dusting off my Bible to check up on the validity of Lynn's biblical/historical accounts - I was able to verify the key events in her capitivating story. I learned a great deal of Biblical history and was blessed by her presentation of Godly truth. It is a delight having entertainment provide valuable education. A true treasure!!

Great read

Wonderful mix of Scripture and fiction. The stories really bring the Old Testament world to life. The stories have me digging through Scripture to read the story line as told in the Bible. Any story that entertains and provokes me to search out a deeper understanding of God's Word is a great read!
