About
With chutzpah and literary grace, said the reviewer in The Salt Lake Tribune, Ann Chamberlin re-creates King David’s court in this novel of biblical history. Reminiscent of... Mary Renault or Marion Zimmer Bradley, said Of a Like Mind magazine.
David’s rise to power beckons Tamar’s mother to leave her temple, her priestess tradition and her first marriage to join the kings growing harem. Traveling with her, young Tamar gains the ancient gift of hearing the whispers of sacred serpents, the will of the Goddess. The conflict between her Goddess and David’s single God grows into a battle for the holy land, for succession, for souls, for love. For life itself.
