Deborah: A tale of the times of Judas Maccabaeus

Set against the dazzling splendor of Antioch under the self‑styled “Glorious” Antiochus Epiphanes, the novel opens with a city awash in gold‑tinted banners, glittering chariots and a massive military parade that draws soldiers from every corner of the known world. Through the eyes of a proud young Greek, readers sense the volatile mix of ambition, vanity and looming danger that fuels the king’s extravagant pageants, while the bustling courts and restless guards hint at deeper conspiracies beneath the surface celebration.

Amid the roar of trumpets and the clatter of armored elephants, a determined woman named Deborah begins to navigate the treacherous politics of a kingdom poised between Roman expansion and ancient traditions. Her keen observations and quiet resolve promise a journey that intertwines personal courage with the larger forces shaping the era, offering listeners a richly textured portrait of history alive with intrigue and vivid action.
