Description

When an ambitious tyrant threatens genocide against the Jews, an inexperienced young queen must take a stand for her people.


When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown.

Purposely violating an ancient Persian law, she risks her life in order to save her people...and bind her husband's heart.
