Jemmah has always thought of herself as perfectly ordinary ⌠until she faces extraordinary circumstances.
When her mother, the Persian kingâs famous senior scribe, is kidnapped, Jemmah and her sister must sneak undetected into enemy territory to rescue her. But infiltrating their adversaryâs lands proves easier than escaping them. As they flee through dangerous mountain passes,
their survival depends on the skills of a stranger they free from prison: a mysterious prince named Asher.
Asher is not who the world believes he is. Despite his royal blood, he has had to climb his way out of poverty to forge success from nothing. A manufacturer of some of the best weaponry in the East, Asher has only one goal: to destroy his father. But following his escape from prison,
Asher is irresistibly drawn to Jemmah, unaware that she guards her own secret.
Jemmah must convince Asher to give up everything he has worked for, all for the sake of a higher purpose heâs not sure he believes in. The fate of the Persian Empireâand possibly the Judean peopleâhangs in the balance and in the persuasive power of one ordinary woman.
