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' 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.
