    About this audiobook

    Their lives couldn’t be more different, but their goal is the same: survive King Herod’s rule.

    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’s from an inferior race, a people whom God will never accept or approve of.

    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 each day within Herod the Great’s tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is safe.

      The book had no plot. There was nothing to look forward to

      Wonderful book. You must read it.
    • 5/5
      I read this years ago and loved it. Not sure if I'd enjoy it as much as an adult, but I remember it fondly.
    • 5/5
      Evyn dreams of being a storyteller, back in a time before libraries and common knowledge of the written word the best way to hear a tale was for someone to orally present it and Evyn is very talented at this oral tradition. However, his dreams are shattered when his father is murdered and his own tongue is cut from his mouth to prevent him from telling who did the murderers were. His own uncle sells him into slavery and when the lover of an influential man takes pity on him, Evyn begins a journey with Earl Harold of Wessex the future King of England. The boy chronicles their journeys together learning to read, write, and communicate without his voice. Evyn gains a family and a man he can look up to as a mentor but not all things are meant to last and not all stories end happily. This book has copious amounts of history that could have been. Historical fiction has always been a draw for me and anyone who is a fan of the genre should pick up this book.
    • 4/5
      The book started out quickly which I admire most in a story. King Harold took Evyn (Shadow) in as his foster son which developed a strong relationship between the king and Evyn. I liked the way the author made a purpose in Evyn's life after he was muted because he felt that all his hopes and dreams had been vanished. But because of his mutism, his future was better than he would have hoped that it would be. It's a good read, especially if you're not too familiar with the Battle of Hastings.
