Two queens is one too many. The solution? One needs to have an accident. A fatal accident. Ah, but that is just the beginning of the scheming.
Based on a true story and real people, Escape to Petra is a fascinating story of jealousy and intrigue, set in Galilee in the year 33, a dramatic era when Herod’s kingdom was coming undone, and Christianity was being born.
Ashur, a cocky young trader from Parthia, lets a pretty girl lure him into a conspiracy that makes him the number-one most wanted criminal in Galilee. Can a traveler from another country, with practically no friends or resources, outwit a king and all his forces? Not without a little help.
This adventure spans the area from Damascus to Tyre to Jerusalem to Petra, and touches on the lives of many famous historical figures such as Herod Antipas, Salome, and John the Baptist. However, the accurate details of life in this era may surprise you. Meticulously researched and based on the most recent archaeology and scholarship, Ashur’s adventure paints a fascinatingly different picture of life in a first century as sophisticated and real as our own.
