Publisher's summary

Following his vision of the coming Messiah, the prophet Daniel creates a select group of men who will count down the calendar to the arrival of Israel's promised king. Centuries later, as the day nears, Myrad, a young magi acolyte, flees for his life when his adoptive father and others are put to death by a ruthless Parthian queen.

Having grabbed only a few possessions, Myrad escapes the city, and searching for a way to hide from the soldiers scouring the trade routes, he tries to join the caravan of the merchant Walagash. The merchant senses that Myrad is hiding secrets, but when the young man proves himself a valuable traveler, an epic journey filled with peril, close escapes, and dangerous battles begins.

With every day that passes, the calendar creeps closer to the coming Messiah. And over everything shines the dream of a star that Myrad can't forget and the promise that the world will never be the same.

Good historical fiction

I learned alot about the nations that were in play during the time that Christ was born. I went and looked up some of the nations and kings mentioned in the story and gained a bit of an education I might not have had otherwise. I loved that the book of Daniel was used as a touchpoint throughout the story. It was a great listen.

Amazing story and creative look at the three wise men

This is a great story and a very creative way to look at the story of the three wise men.

An amazing journey and very intriguing story. I was hook early on and was right beside them the entire way it was like I was part of their caravan.

Amazing story and narration.

Great Story

Absolutely loved listening to what it could've been like for the magi who followed the star to Jesus! Then to go on and imagine with the author what it must have been like for those same wise men to experience the death and resurrection of the Messiah was exciting.
