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's 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.

I am not familiar with the Queen Ester story so as I am listening it took me a while to understand the time periods was. But in the end it was brought out how life was then and is today. Thank you for a great story!

I really enjoyed the spin on this story. It was more about Esther’s friend than her, but it was so good!!
I do wish the narrator would have pronounced emma correctly and not as the name Emma.

So good!!

The choice for narrator is such a bummer but the story is so good i kept listening. She is not a bad narrator just not correct for this book and made all the young adults sound like children. If you have time read the book don’t listen to narrated version. Blessings ❣️

The story is wonderful.

Roseanne White has always been one of my favorite authors of all time, but may have moved to most favorite with this book! I almost didn’t begin it since it’s a story where we already know the ending. Knowing how much I’ve enjoyed every one of her books, I decided to jump in and then never wanted to stop!
This book is the perfect blend of biblical truths with incredibly talented weaving of intriguing stories. The story was romantic and real and, with that culture, may have been close to the truth! I highly recommend this book to everyone, regardless of “religious” affiliation or background.

New Favorite!
