Description

Beyond the Drama, Her Heart Was Real

From the moment her marriage to prince Ahab thrusts her into the intrigues of palace life, Jezebel’s exotic beauty opens doors and her will breaks down walls. Torn from her homeland and wed to power in a strange country, Jezebel vows to create a legacy and power all her own. Some might call her a manipulative schemer, bent on having her way. But they don’t know the whole story, and she was much, much worse. As she moves through the halls of power, her heart struggles between devotion to the gods she worships, the prince who loves her, and her thirst for revenge. She sparks a battle between her strangely powerless gods and the God of palace administrator Obadiah—a God who confronts her with surprising might. She will fight, though victory may cost her everything.

Advance Praise

The name Jezebel has long been associated with promiscuous women and false prophets. In the Bible, and here, Jezebel, the daughter of the King of Tyre, is married off as a political maneuver to King Ahab, and she converts him from Judaism to paganism. But the Prophet Elijah challenges the woman and her Phoenician gods. Seeking a miracle, Ahab’s people vow allegiance to Elijah’s God, inciting Jezebel to revenge. Garrett’s welcome follow-up to Desired: The Untold Story of Samson and Delilah offers a captivating portrait of a more human and complex woman. VERDICT This compelling and suspenseful revisionist character study makes an excellent choice for aficionados of Francine Rivers.
