The Peasant King

Jemmah, an ordinary young woman, finds her life upended when her mother, a renowned Persian king's scribe, is kidnapped, prompting Jemmah and her sister to undertake a daring mission into enemy territory. Along the way, they team up with a mysterious prince named Asher, whose own secrets and ambitions add complexity to their journey. With the fate of the Persian empire—and possibly the Judean people—at stake, Jemmah must navigate danger and deception, challenging perceptions of ordinary and extraordinary.
