      Autorka Angela Hunt v poslednej časti trilógie opisuje príbeh Židovky Ester, ktorá si vďaka kráse a dôvtipu získa srdce vládcu Asuera a stane sa kráľovnou Perzie. Jej šťastie však skalia intrigy kráľovho radcu Amana, ktorý zosnová zákerný plán na vyhubenie židovského národa. Nájde Ester silu riskovať život pre jeho záchranu? Podarí sa jej zvrátiť kruté rozhodnutie? A bude ju kráľ ľúbiť, aj keď mu odhalí svoj pôvod? Po tom, čo perzský kráľ Asuer zavrhne pre neposlušnosť svoju manželku Vasti, hľadá si novú ženu medzi najkrajšími dievčinami vo svojej krajine. Medzi tými, ktoré sa dostanú do paláca, je aj mladá Židovka Ester, ktorú po smrti jej rodičov vychováva strýko Mardochej. Práve ona si pôvabom, skromnosťou a dôvtipom získa Asuerovu priazeň a s ňou aj korunu. No bezstarostné obdobie manželstva netrvá dlho. Kráľov najvyšší úradník Aman, pyšný a sebecký človek, túži, aby sa mu všetci klaňali. Mardochej však uctieva jedine Boha Izraela a odmietne sa pred ním skloniť. Rozzúrený Aman sa rozhodne pomstiť na celom židovskom národe a dať ho vyhubiť. Kráľ Asuer podpíše krutý zákon, netušiac, že aj jeho milovaná manželka je Židovka. Statočná Ester sa podujme na neľahkú úlohu – vyjsť s pravdou von a prosiť kráľa Asuera, aby ušetril jej národ… Autorka Angela Hunt spája pútavý štýl písania s historickými skutočnosťami a predkladá čitateľovi príbeh, ktorý rozvíja známe biblické rozprávanie o hrdinskej kráľovnej Ester.

      • 18 hours of reading

      Learning of his Irish origins, a proud English knight seeks the secrets of his birth. But the truth shatters his illusions, leaving him struggling with God's purpose for his life. "This is an excellent scripting of people and events in England and Ireland during the third quarter of the twelfth century. The author has obviously read widely in the sources and has stuck closely to the exciting, passsion-laden sources of the era. In some ways it becomes extremely relevant as an assist in the understanding and interpretation of today's Anglo-Irish confrontations. . . [Angela Hunt] has a great gift for bringing the dynamic currents of an era together. -- Thomas O. Kay, Chair, History Department, Wheaton College
