A jealous Egyptian queen.
A lascivious Galilean governor.
How can one servant girl possibly make a difference?

An orphan since birth, Lydia lives in the palace at the demand of Cleopatra and her royal child, the son of Julius Caesar.

But Lydia’s beauty is becoming a liability to the aging queen, and the visiting Herod’s undisguised interest in Lydia only makes matters worse.

When Lydia’s mentor is murdered, the handmaid inherits a daunting task. An ancient set of sealed scrolls, the secret writings of the prophet Daniel, must be returned to Jerusalem–before those who killed her mentor destroy the scrolls as well.

Lydia joins Herod the Great’s retinue and soon becomes absorbed in the machinations of his Jerusalem palace.

But dark forces, older than Jerusalem itself, are at work.

And Lydia has no idea of the true nature of her destiny.

The audio was pretty good by a virtual voice. This book drew me in from the start. Lydia, a servant in Cleopatra’s palace, finds herself caught between jealous royalty, a dangerous Galilean governor, and a mission that could change history. When her mentor is murdered, Lydia must protect ancient prophetic scrolls—while navigating the deadly politics of Herod’s court.

The story blends historical drama, suspense, and spiritual depth with a strong, relatable heroine. Fast-paced and atmospheric, it kept me turning pages. If you love historical fiction with heart and high stakes, this is a must-read.
