Genre: Biblical Fiction

Her life was perfect. At least her childhood was. Eve never wanted anything except her father's presence. As a prominent advisor to the evil King Herod, Eve's father was split between his duties to the king and his duties as the only living parent for his daughter. With no heir to claim his family's land, Eve's father did what any loving father would do. He arranged for her betrothal. But this wasn't just any betrothal. Her potential husband was related to the king she despised. With a rough marital journey ahead of her, she tenuously clings to the promises of God. Not sharing her father's enthusiasm or respect for the Herodian dynasty, Eve acted like the spoiled child she was upon first meeting her betrothed. With faulty expectations and prejudiced opinions, she did what she would to ruin the marriage before it began. It wasn't until it was almost too late that Eve's eyes were open and she saw the opportunity to experience love for the divine intervention that it was. Fraught with political intrigue and personal challenges, would Eve be able to fully surrender to the life God wanted her to live by loving a man she thought she could never love? When that man's shadows chase the family into the future, would Eve's son pay the ultimate price? Or would God intervene there too? Could He? Only a single, unforeseen encounter could answer Eve's impossible question. Does love truly conquer death?

RETURN OF THE SON CHARACTER PROFILES

 

David, born in Tiberius as the only son of Jered and Judith, leaves his home with his family when he is only a boy. Tragedy leaves its mark on their journey, transforming David from a cherished only son into a heartbroken orphan. In a constant war with his true identity as a son of Yahweh, David becomes a soldier in Herod’s guard. Trained for battle, a fierce warrior with a tender heart and a soul thirst to honor Yahweh, David enters the battlefield of an arranged marriage with no idea how to fight for a woman’s heart.

Eve, the only daughter of a beloved father, has a stubborn streak that strikes like lightning. Furiously reluctant when her father arranges a marriage to a man she is certain she will hate, Eve does everything in her power to make life miserable for her betrothed. Despite evidence to the contrary, she clings to her prejudice and remains blinded to Yahweh’s blessings in her life. With a maturity that only comes from enduring tough times, Eve learns the depth of a love that conquers death.

A self-proclaimed king with an insecurity streak that plagues his restless soul, King Herod moves like an infection in the lives he touches. Placing three sons on his throne after his death, Herod’s evil legacy stays alive through family secrets, manipulation, and palace intrigue. Decisions he made during his life haunt a devoted family after his death.
