Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction set in ancient Persia and the biblical world, with richly researched details that feel lived-in rather than lecture-like.
You're drawn to romance where both characters have genuine internal conflicts and neither one needs rescuing by the other.
You appreciate adventure plots that hinge on female protagonists using intelligence and persuasion rather than magic or violence.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat plotting. This book takes time to develop character depth and motivations over breakneck action.
You prefer morally grey characters with no redemptive arc. Asher's transformation is central to the story.
You're looking for heavy angst or dark themes. This is a clean romance with faith elements woven throughout.

About this book

Jemmah considers herself ordinary until circumstances force her into extraordinary action. When her mother, the Persian king's senior scribe, is kidnapped, Jemmah and her sister must secretly enter enemy territory to rescue her. Their escape through dangerous mountain passes depends on a stranger they free from prison: a mysterious prince named Asher. Asher is not who the world believes him to be. Despite royal blood, he has built himself up from poverty to become a manufacturer of weaponry in the East, driven by a single goal: to destroy his father. After his escape, Asher becomes drawn to Jemmah, unaware that she holds her own secret. Jemmah must persuade Asher to abandon everything he has worked toward for a higher purpose he does not believe in. The survival of the Persian empire and possibly the Judean people depend on her ability to convince him. This historical romance novel is set in biblical times and can be read as a standalone or as a companion to The Hidden Prince.
