One of the Bible's most interesting characters-the spirited young Queen Esther, comes glowingly to life under Gladys Malvern's pen.
This inspiring tale of love and courage unfolds with Esther, Mordecai, Ahasuerus and Haman, whose destinies are strangely intertwined, to create an action-packed drama and exciting romance. The book is backed up by painstaking research, not only into the period, but into the story itself as it appears in the Bible and other ancient texts.
Against the background of the opulent palace at Shushan unfolds a tale of court intrigue, prejudice, danger, desperation and triumph. Through it all moves the daring young Esther-a heroine worthy of the high regard still bestowed upon her.
