Description
The Old Testament book of Daniel comes to life in this gripping novel. Belili, a Hebrew girl who survived the Babylonian conquest and lived among the Magoi, thought she had perfected her art of deception. Now, as a septuagenarian matriarch, she believes she is safe in Babylon. However, when her husband Daniel is summoned to interpret mysterious handwriting on a wall at Belshazzar's palace, her tightly-wound secrets begin to unravel. The Persian Army's invasion brings new challenges and opportunities for Belili, forcing her to confront the God she has long prayed to alone. As the reign of Darius unfolds, Belili must come to terms with her faith and her place in a world that is rapidly changing. Ultimately, Yahweh's sovereign hand guides Jerusalem's captives, transforming Belili into a confident woman who realizes her need for the God who conquers both fire and lions. This novel offers a fresh perspective on the biblical story of Daniel, exploring themes of faith, identity, and redemption in ancient Babylon.
