Two women occupy a place in Herod's court. The first,
Salome, is the king's only sister, a resentful woman who has
been told she is from an inferior race, a people God will
never accept or approve.
The second woman, Zara, is a lowly handmaid who serves
Salome, but where Salome spies conspiracies and treachery,
Zara sees hurting people in need of understanding and
compassion.
Powerful and powerless, Idumean and Jew, selfish and
selfless--both women struggle to reach their goals and
survive in Herod the Great's tumultuous court, where no one
is trustworthy and no one is safe.
