Perfect for you if...

You appreciate historical fiction that weaves real historical figures (Herod, Jesus) into intimate personal stories rather than preaching.
You enjoy sweeping epics with multiple cultures and desert settings that feel authentically rendered.
You're drawn to stories about outsiders finding belonging and spiritual awakening through unexpected encounters.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward retellings of biblical stories without fictional embellishment or invented characters.
You want fast-paced narratives, as this 432-page epic takes time to develop its world and relationships.
You're looking for light reads rather than morally complex journeys that interrogate faith and identity.

About this book

A.D. 30 is an epic novel set in the deserts of Arabia and ancient Palestine, following a conflict between kingdoms both earthly and internal. Maviah, the outcast daughter of a powerful Bedouin sheikh, is called to protect the people who rejected her. After enemies attack with devastating results, she escapes with two of her father's warriors: Saba, a swordsman of few words, and Judah, a Jew from a star-reading tribe. Their journey across the deadly desert sands leads them to a world ruled by kings and emperors. Maviah must forge an alliance with King Herod of the Jews to save her people. However, her path intersects with Yeshua, an enigmatic teacher who speaks of a way of life offering power greater than any kingdom. His teachings challenge everything she knows. Though following him brings greater danger, his way may be Maviah's only path to salvation for her people and herself.
