Anna of Arimathea: Christian Biblical Historical Fiction Novel Set In First Century (The Arimathea Chronicles Book 1)

Eighteen-year-old Anna carries the physical and emotional scars of childhood tragedy that claimed her mother's life. She lives within the household of her father, Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin, where she spends her days working with herb gardens and healing tinctures, confined to a small, safe world. When Andrew of Bethsaida arrives at her father's gate on urgent business, he brings news of a rabbi named Jesus who calls ordinary people to extraordinary purpose. Andrew, a fisherman turned disciple, follows Jesus with a conviction that challenges Anna's long-held expectations. As Andrew's kindness opens her eyes to a larger world, Anna must choose between remaining in the safety of her father's estate or risking everything for the possibility of healing, love, and a life she never imagined. Set in first-century Judea, this novel explores faith, first love, and redemption against the backdrop of dusty roads, fishing villages, and miracles. It is the first book in The Arimathea Chronicles.
