Tenney takes readers to Esther's pre-Islamic Persia to uncover the secrets that helped her win the heart and gain the ear of the king and save her people from destruction. A Jewish girl of no royal heritage was chosen to become the Queen of Persia. Was it her beauty alone, or did she know an important and mysterious truth? Tenney challenges his readers to move beyond formal petitions or even "storming the gates of heaven" to that intimate embrace of worship where the bride's petitions move the King's heart and where kingdoms, people, and situations begin to shift like pawns on a divine chessboard.

Seventeen-year-old Emma Misseldon's life is turned upside-down when she makes the mistake of trusting the most dangerous man in the empire. It's no secret that the king is a womanizer and a tyrant, but she never expected the price of his help for her dying mother to be her. To knight-in-training Caedmon Cruz, Emma is nothing more than a decoration for the king's arm. Then he gets to know her, and God help him, it's wrong and maybe even blasphemous, but he can't resist her. A forced marital commitment between Emma and the king, however, makes their relationship lethal. When they receive word of the king's newest decree, both chilling in its brutality and shocking in its corruption, they know that they must stand against him even if it costs them their lives. In this place of ultimate revenge, Emma is about to discover the appalling, phenomenal truth about her past, a truth that could destroy everything she's ever loved... including Caedmon. Trigger Warning: This book contains elements of domestic and sexual abuse and infidelity.
