Synopsis

Princess Jehosheba wants nothing more than to please the harsh and demanding Queen Athaliah, daughter of the notorious Queen Jezebel. Her work as a priestess in the temple of Baal seems to do the trick. But when a mysterious letter from the dead prophet Elijah predicts doom for the royal household, Jehosheba realizes that the dark arts she practices reach beyond the realm of earthly governments. To further Athaliah and Jezebel's strategies, she is forced to marry Yahweh's high priest and enters the unfamiliar world of Yahweh's temple. Can her new husband show her the truth and love she craves? And can Jehosheba overcome her fear and save the family—and the nation—she loves?

With deft skill, Mesu Andrews brings Old Testament passages to life, revealing a fascinating story of the power of unconditional love.

What on earth could an Old Testament story full of priests and rulers contain that would be pertinent to my life? Well, let me just tell you: Mesu Andrews has taken a story of laws made it come alive. As you read, you are dropped into a world of drama, intrigue and romance set in the opulent kingdom......more

I've read all but one of the books Mesu Andrew's has published so far and with each one I've closed the book feeling so impressed with her work. She has such a beautiful way of presenting a character's story and I love how they always point towards and end with showing the power and mercy of Yahweh.......more

Goodreads review by Tina at Mommynificent on February 28, 2014

In the Shadow of Jezebel is a riveting story full of multi-dimensional characters. I found it hard to put down (even though I knew how it was going to end!)
