As a child, Shulle is brought from a small village to tutor the young prince. Then his father dies suddenly, and 12-year-old Manasseh assumes the throne---and marries her! Then Assyria's crown prince starts twisting the young king's mind toward cruelty, and Queen Meshullemeth begins a long and harrowing journey toward the Yahweh she's never known. 400 pages, softcover from Waterbrook.
