Shelamzion - Queen Of Israel (Paperback)

Shelamzion dreams of living for a cause. As a Maccabean descendant, her family had defeated the Greeks occupying Judea and had restored the nation’s independence. But her uncle, the king, rules with greed and selfish ambition, isolating her family from the people.

An arranged marriage to her cousin shatters her dreams of purpose and her longing to marry Yaakov, her tutor. Shelamzion watches her husband, the newly crowned king, continue his father’s reign of tyranny. Lines are drawn, civil war spills blood on to Jerusalem’s streets and Shelamzion is faced with personal loss and the desire to rise up and protect her people.

But Yahweh has never chosen a queen to rule over Israel before, so will he do it this time?
