Can love prevail over prejudice in thirteenth-century England? The conclusion of the thrilling Hebraica trilogy by the author of Sacrifice and Massacre.
When nine-year-old Henry, son of King John, is hastily crowned, the Jewish community is hopeful. But life isn’t always kind . . .
Against a backdrop of rising persecution, Mirabelle, a fiery Jewish woman, is determined to succeed with the help of her son, Bonanfaunt. Slowly, Mirabelle and her family climb the ranks and replace another family as leaders of their community.
But as the years pass, life for a Jewish person remains extremely difficult. And when further draconian restrictions are imposed upon the livelihoods of the community, doubts are raised about whether they can survive in this increasingly hostile world. Will they be chased out of Gloucester for good, or can they endure the storm?
