Unexpected Page Turner -- While this is a retelling of the story of Esther it is not simply the story of Esther set in a different location, time or culture. It is cleverly woven into an intriguing storyline set in a well imagined kingdom.

"Who knows, Vivienne, if just like Esther, you came to this royal position for such a time as this?" The book's cover drew me to this story and I was not disappointed!

A kingdom, a war and a princess who wants to do good before God. This book really kept me reading until way too late.

Hers, it seemed, was a beauty apart from every other pretty face they’d seen hundreds of… View more
Vivienne Kristiansen could almost hear the song of the sparrows and smell the muskiness of the crown imperial lilies in her inna’s garden.
I’ve laughed, I’ve smiled, and I’ve certainly shed a few tears through this book. I haven’t felt all the feels from a book in awhile with all the craziness of life, so getting back to my love for reading books was like I had never stopped reading, and it’s all thanks to this story right here.
