Childhood friends Chava, daughter of the royal tutor, and Urbi, a princess, often play together in Alexandria's royal palace. When Chava receives a prophecy from Ha-Shem telling her that she will see Urbi's happiest day and her last, she confides in her friend, who is displeased. When Urbi becomes Queen Cleopatra, an argument with her old friend results in her selling Chava into slavery. Remembering the prophecy, Chava, who now finds herself in Rome, struggles to trust in a God that seems to have abandoned her. VERDICT Setting her new biblical series half a century before the birth of Christ. Hunt (Delilah) once again vividly brings the ancient world to life, although she focuses here on the military and political climate of the time with her protagonists more in the background.
