Book recommendation - The Hidden Prince

 

One of my go-to authors in Biblical fiction is Tessa Afshar. She writes with such spiritual depth and great Biblical knowledge and forms rich characters and plot lines that her books are difficult to put down. Having struggled to read as much this year as I have in past years, I was thrilled to read this one in just a couple of days. This book takes place during the Babylonian captivity of the nation of Judah. I enjoyed seeing some famous Bible characters as well as learning more about the ancient cultures in the eastern world. Here's a bit about the book:

From the bestselling author of Jewel of the Nile comes the thrilling tale of a woman who feels she has no future but soon discovers the fate of nations may rest in her hands.

The beloved daughter of Jewish captives in Babylon, Keren is sold into Daniel’s household to help her family survive. She becomes Daniel’s most trusted scribe, while taking lessons and swordsmanship training alongside Daniel’s sons and their best friend, Jared.

But after a tragic accident changes the course of her life, Keren finds herself in a foreign country, charged with a mysterious task: teaching a shepherd boy how to become a lord. When she overhears whispers that hint at his true identity, she realizes she must protect him from the schemes of a bloodthirsty king.

Jared cannot forgive Keren. Still, he finds himself traveling over mountains to fetch her back to the safety of home. When he discovers the secret identity of Keren’s pupil, Jared knows he must help protect him. Love battles bitterness as they flee from the king’s agents, trying to save the boy who could one day deliver their people from captivity.

Fun side note - the Ishtar gate on the front cover of the book is currently being reconstructed. Here's an image of it in "real life". I love how the cover art captures it so well!


This book is available November 8, 2022, wherever books are sold. It's one I definitely recommend checking out! For additional information, check out the following links:
