King's shadow: a novel of king herod's court, paperback/angela hunt

Description Two women occupy a place in Herods court.

The first, Salome, is the kings only sister, a resentful woman who has been told she is from an inferior race, a people God will never accept or approve.

The second woman, Zara, is a lowly handmaid who serves Salome, but where Salome spies conspiracies and treachery, Zara sees hurting people in need of understanding and compassion.

Powerful and powerless, Idumean and Jew, selfish and selfless--both women struggle to reach their goals and survive in Herod the Greats tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is safe.
