Esther: A Novel

Esther: A Novel

From the award-winning author of Sinners and the Sea comes a breathtaking new look into the timeless tale of Queen Esther, â‚¬Å“a riveting tale of courageâ‚¬Â (New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee).

A glittering Persian king has a vast empire that reaches farther than where the sun meets the horizon. He is bathed in riches and commands a frightening military force. He possesses power beyond any other mortal man and rules his kingdom as a god. Anything he desires, he has. Any woman he wants, he possesses. Thousands of them. Young virgins from all across his many lands.

A Jewish girl is ripped from her hut by the kingâ‚¬s brutish warriors and forced to march across blistering, scorched earth to the capital city. Trapped for months in the splendid cage of the kingâ‚¬s palace, she must avoid the ire of the kingâ‚¬s concubines and eunuchs all while preparing for her one night with the king. Soon the fated night arrives, and she does everything in her power to captivate the king and become his queen.

But wearing the crown brings with it a new set of dangers. When a ruthless man plies the kingâ‚¬s ear with whispers of genocide, it is up to the young queen to prevent the extermination of the Jews. She must find the strength within to violate the kingâ‚¬s law, risk her life, and save her people.

This is a story of finding hidden depths of courage within oneâ‚¬s self. Of risking it all to stand up for what is right.

This is the story of Queen Esther.
