BIBLICAL FICTION SERIES
Do you like series like The Chosen? You can expect the same historical-intimacy-with-political-intrigue in my biblical fiction series, The Magi’s Encounters. It introduces you to the Wise Men and what happened to them before and after they found Yeshua (Jesus). Want to know what they risked and what their knowledge of Yeshua really cost them? Read on!
Book 1: New Star
Plot: Studying a star linked to an eternal king ensnares Akilah in three countries’ religious and governmental power struggles. He must choose to protect what he knows of Yeshua or stay true to Magi society and its religion. Either choice could cost Akilah his life.
