Given to the temple of Atargatis as a
child, Delilah is raised to be a priestess to the Five
Cities that rule Canaan. With her beloved friend Aylah,
Delilah grows up under the watchful eyes of high priestess
Derceto, who sees the devout young priestesses as valuable
playing pieces in her political schemes.
In the hills
of Canaan, the Israelites chafe under the rule of the Five
Cities, and choose Samson to lead them to victory. A
reluctant warrior, Samson is a man of great heart who
prefers peace to war. But fearing a rebellion, those who
rule the Five Cities will do anything to capture Samson.
When Samson catches a glimpse of Delilah, he is ready to
risk his freedom to marry her, and Derceto seizes the chance
to have Samson at her mercy. The Temple's intrigues against
Samson force Aylah and Delilah apart, lead Delilah to
question her own heart, and change her future forever.
A glorious and inventive retelling of an
ancient story, Delilah is a soaring tale of political
turmoil, searing betrayal, passionate friendship, and
forbidden love.
