Book Recommendation - The King's Shadow

If you enjoy Biblical Historical fiction, Angela Hunt is an author you don't want to miss! Most recently she has written a series called "The Silent Years" that take place during the 400 year gap between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament. This series covers the Maccabeean revolt, Cleopatra and Mark Antony, the Hasmonean Dynasty and the reign of Herod the Great. This book and subsequently, the series, ends just after the birth of Christ.


Here's a summary of King's Shadow:


The fourth and final volume in The Silent Years series.
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.
