Hunt, Angela

Hunt's (Egypt's Sister) latest series puts a human face on an a momentous event in ancient history—the Maccabean Revolt of 167–160 BCE

Setting her new biblical series half a century before the birth of Christ. Hunt (Delilah) once again vividly brings the ancient world to life, although she focuses here on the military and political climate of the time with her protagonists more in the background.

Devotees of Hunt and biblical fiction will be eager to read.

Much like the first book in this biblical series (Esther: Royal Beauty), this new entry takes sparse historical details about Bathsheba, wife of David and mother to Solomon, and creates a realistic world of love and betrayal, political avarice and treachery...

New York Times best-selling author Hunt (Passing Strangers) returns to biblical fiction with a bang, refashioning the classic story of Esther into a moving tale of love and courage that endures, even under the shadow of death. Narrating from two very different perspectives (Esther's and that of Harbonah, the king's main male servant), Hunt gives a fully rounded portrait of the happenings in the palace of Xerxes. Fans who have read all of Brock and Brodie Thoene's biblical historicals will find this a great alternative.
