Sazana of Persia creates exquisite pottery that graces Susa’s finest tables, but her master, Lord Haman, does not know her secret: Sazana is one of the Jews he despises. When Haman discovers her true identity, he forces her into indentured servitude. After Haman is sentenced to death, and Queen Esther becomes the new master of the pottery workshop, Sazana believes her troubles are over. But Haman’s sons grow enraged at the loss of their inheritance, prompting the queen to assign one of her men to protect the workshop.

Sazana is shocked to discover that the queen’s agent is none other than the man who broke their betrothal years ago. When tragedy strikes, Sazana and Jadon must set aside past heartache to join forces and find the ancient artifact that will help Esther protect their people. Can they unearth the secrets that will allow them to thwart impending tragedy?

Rooted in biblical truths and detailed historical research, Tessa Afshar paints a moving and captivating tale of life, love, and intrigue in Queen Esther’s royal court.
