Silent Years
Their lives couldnāt be more different, but their goal is the same: survive King Herodās rule. Two women occupy a place in Herodās court. The first, Salome, is the kingās only sister, a resentful woman who has been told sheās 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 selflessāboth women struggle to reach their goals and survive each day within Herod the Greatās tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is safe.
