...this is a magisterial work of ancient worldbuilding, and a dramatically affecting one, as well... An often deft blend of emotional drama and historical reconstruction. - Kirkus Reviews A beautifully crafted historical fiction tale... Absolutely bewitching...This mesmerizing tale will linger in readers' minds long after the final page is turned. = The Prairies Book Review ...an incredible job of building suspense. It's a slow, moody, end of your seat suspense with a palpable sense of foreboding... an entertaining and endearing tale of companionship that blossoms into sweet reverence. It you love historical novels filled with great emotion, family relations, and a beta hero, you will simply want to devour this book. - Booksprout Discovering Diamonds Book of the Month: June 2021 This compelling book is a rich tapestry of war and peace, courage and endurance, love and loss that underscores the simple truth that when leaders clash it is the innocent who pay the price... I thoroughly enjoyed this read and wholeheartedly recommend it. - Discovering Diamonds: Independent Reviews of the Best in Historical Fiction

Author Information

Daryl Potter has been a cornet player, carpenter, nurse, emergency room assistant, chicken catcher, medical genetics lab technician, IT manager and banking product manager. He has explored Egypt's pyramids, Israel's deserts, and Turkey's archaeology. In addition to studying Alexandrian Greek and ancient Hebrew poetry, he has been bitten by a wolf in northern British Columbia and attacked by a western diamondback rattlesnake in California. He and his wife share their home outside Toronto, Ontario, with their two teenage children. His first novel, Keziah's Song, explores the tumultuous 135-101 BCE period, focused on the Seleucid Empire and Israel. Further books in the series will explore the period 135 BCE to 135 CE with a reach that expands to include Egypt, Rome, Nabataea and the Parthian Empire. This is a period of history full of little-known stories that are as dramatic as anything found in most popular fantasy novels and whose effects continue to shape Western Civilization and three of the world's major religions.
