What happened to Brigitte Berthold? That question has haunted Daniel Knight since he was thirteen, when he and ten-year-old Brigitte escaped the Gestapo agents who arrested both their parents. They survived a harrowing journey from Germany to England, only to be separated upon their arrival. Daniel vowed to find Brigitte after the war, a promise he has fought to fulfill for more than seventy years. Now a wealthy old man, Daniel’s final hope in finding Brigitte rests with Quenby Vaughn, an American journalist working in London. He believes Quenby’s tenacity to find missing people and her personal investment in a related WWII espionage story will help her succeed where previous investigators have failed. Though Quenby is wrestling her own demons—and wary at the idea of teaming up with Daniel’s lawyer, Lucas Hough—the lure of Brigitte’s story is too much to resist. Together, Quenby and Lucas delve deep into the past, following a trail of deception, sacrifice, and healing that could change all of their futures. A 2018 Christy Award finalist!

The transition is not an easy one, as there are several Israelites who believe bringing a gentile into the sacred land of David the Great is blasphemous to God.The future of the kingdom now rests in King Solomon's hands, offering stresses of its own despite his divine wisdom as he waits in anguish for his bride. 'She of the Beautiful Land' is to be with him soon, and he longs for his wife. When the betrothed meet, the prior struggles are minimized by yet more religious opposition, but genuine love prevails. Solomon's desire for Tanafriti inspires the royal palacea "the only one built for any of his thousand wives. When their marriage fails to produce a male heir, Solomon leaves Tanafriti in distress and Kam to decipher his newfound role in Solomon's guard.

Through it all, a remarkable journey awaits the lives of all as an ultimate plan from a higher power strategically makes way into two kingdoms and two hearts vying for power and romance."
