Пра гэту аўдыякнігу

Their lives couldn’t be more different, but their goal is the same: survive King Herod’s rule.

Two women occupy a place in Herod’s court. The first, Salome, is the king’s only sister, a resentful woman who has been told she’s 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 selfless—both women struggle to reach their goals and survive each day within Herod the Great’s tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is safe.
