Book Tour – Dark Hour

I’ve mentioned before that the CBA publishers are getting on board with the Book Blog Tours that have been happening in the past year that I keep inflicting on you, my loyal readers. You are reading this, aren’t you? You are loyal, aren’t you?

Comment to this post and you will have an opportunity to WIN a copy of the Novel of the Week – Dark Hour. The author, Ginger Garrett, is considered an expert in ancient women’s history. This particular novel (not her first) delves into the biblical account of Jezebel’s daughter and her attempt to end the line of David.

Garrett explains what drew her to this particular story:

Athaliah was the daughter of Jezebel–a real woman in history–who tried to destroy all the descendents of King David in a massacre. God made a promise that a descendent of King David would always sit on the throne, and one day a Messiah would come from this line. If Athaliah succeeded, she would break the promise between God and the people, and destroy all hope for a Messiah.

One woman, her step-daughter, Jehoshebeth, defied her. She stole a baby during the massacre and hid him. Between them, the two women literally fought for the fate of the world.

And from the back cover:

God promised the Serpent a war with Woman,
and was She ever ready.

One of the darkest and bloodiest stories of all time comes not from a medieval battlefield, but from inside one of the most opulent palaces ever built. The strategies come not from men eager to extend their influence, but from women bent on exercising their wit and prowess in a kingdom not their own. The only rule is that there are no rules. Treason and murder are fair game, marriage is meaningless, children are the enemy, and the days of the house of David are numbered. Unless one woman can find the strength to defeat them all.
