Description Song of Songs: A Novel of the Queen of Sheba by Marc Graham
Lift the veil of legend for the untold story of Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, and Bathsheba, wife and mother of Israel’s first kings.
When Makeda, the slave-born daughter of the chieftain of Saba, comes of age, she wins her freedom and inherits her father’s titles along with a crumbling earthwork dam that threatens her people’s survival. When she learns of a great stone temple being built in a land far to the north, Makeda leads a caravan to the capital of Yisrael to learn how to build a permanent dam and secure her people’s prosperity.
On her arrival, Makeda discovers that her half-sister Bilkis (also known as Bathsheba) who was thought to have died in a long-ago flash flood, not only survived, but has become Queen of Yisrael. Not content with her own wealth, Bilkis intends to claim the riches of Saba for herself by forcing Makeda to marry her son. But Bilkis’s designs are threatened by the growing attraction between Makeda and Yetzer abi-Huram, master builder of Urusalim’s famed temple. Will Bilkis’s plan succeed or will Makeda and Yetzer outsmart her and find happiness far from her plots and intrigue?
Praise Song of Songs: A Novel of the Queen of Sheba by Marc Graham
“A rousing plunge into the power politics of the ancient world, peopled with legendary characters.” ―Margaret George, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Memoirs of Cleopatra
“With lyrical prose and a keen sense of time and place, Marc Graham sweeps us into this dramatic and unknown tale of rivalry, passion, and the quest for freedom behind the Biblical myth. Song of Songs resonates with historical truth, but never sacrifices the hearts of the fabled women who actually lived it.” ―C.W. Gortner, author of The Romanov Empress
“A stirring novel of love, lust and vengeance, restoring the lost feminine voice to one of the great Biblical tales. You will never think of the Queen of Sheba the same way again.” ―Kamran Pasha, author of Mother of the Believers and Shadow of the Swords.
