Experience the biblical story of Queen Esther as you’ve never read it before. Set in the glittering capital of the Persian Empire at the height of its power, Joan Wolf’s A Reluctant Queen is an inspiring retelling of the tale of Esther, a young Jewish woman thrust from a life of obscurity into a life of power—and unexpected love—when King Ahasuerus (known to history as Xerxes) chooses her as his queen. But though they surprise themselves by falling in love with each other, it is not a love that can run an easy course. Not only is she wracked by guilt that she has lied to her husband about who she is, but an enemy is plotting against her people, forcing her to risk her love and her life in an act that will resonate throughout history.
