The book I am reading is AD 30. So far in the book the land of the has been ravaged by Thamud with the permission of Aretas, king of the Nabateans. The king of the Kalb, Rami bin Malik, ordered his daughter to go to King Herod to make peace with Aretas. She did not succeed and was taken captive to King Aretas, where his daughter, Phasa, pled for Maviah's life. I think in the next part of the book Maviah will go back to Herod and succeed in helping the Nabateans. She will probably be physically hurt in doing so, but also emotionally hurt from being seperated from the person she loves. I think that Rami will be killed by Aretas but he will give the kingdom back to the Kalb after Maviah succeeds. I have really enjoyed the book so far. It is a historical fiction so I like that it combines truth with some fiction too. I am planning on reading the sequel after I finish this book.
I will comment on Matthew's and Gracie's

The book seems interesting, including historical content along with fiction seems like it makes the book more engaging and interests the reader. What makes this book different than others ?

This book seems very interesting and action packed. From what I have read it has so much emotion and anger. But I am not clear about how she was captured and why was she separated from her loved one.

This seems like a very interesting book so far. Kinda sad that the girl is going to be apart from her love one. Can't wait to read more about this book. Good job on your 1st post.
