Synopsis

What evil rises to thwart Mary, mother of Jesus, in her role as mother and protector? Is she truly favored by God? How was Jesus able to live in relative obscurity for 30 years without being recognized by His fellow townspeople as being heaven-sent and divinely commissioned? And what battles might have been fought to preserve His life for His coming mission? The people of the small town of Nazareth are persecuted by Syrians—soldiers conscripted into the Roman army and who despise the Jews. Hasid, a particularly cruel deputy commander, never misses an opportunity to torment and mock them. In that town, young Mary is engaged to Joseph, but their happiness is threatened by seeming infidelity on Mary’s part. As Joseph contemplates what to do, the truth becomes clear to Rabbi Asa—a wise man, and Joseph’s friend and confidant. Reading the writings of Isaiah one day, Asa realizes that what is unfolding is the fulfillment of a prophecy. But lurking in the shadows is Zaddu, an ancient witch who has given her soul to the devil, and Zillah, the venomous town gossip. A riveting adventure through the culture and time of Jesus and his mother - the threats and opportunities, the enemies and unexpected friends. A novel you will not want to put down!
