So far in my book Maviah made a deal with King Aretas to spare her father's life and return the kingdom back under his control. What she didn't see coming was that Aretas would hold Judah's life hostage in case she did not succeed in her mission. So she set out towards King Herod with Saba by her side with an impossible ahead of her. Maviah and Judah have a very good relationship and love each other. Judah refers to Maviah as his queen and will go to the ends of the earth with her and to protect her. He killed a man, Bruno, because he was torturing her and beat her with a whip. Maviah loves him too but does not find herself worthy of his love, she believes she is worthless. Maviah and Phasa have become close friends after spending all that time together in Herod's palace. Phasa considers Maviah her sister, and the two learned to trust each other and work together. They both despise Herod, and it was Maviah who saved Phasa's life by telling her of Herod's plan to kill her. Luckily they fled together to safety where Phasa vouched for Maviah's life. If not Aretas would have killed her. Saba and Maviah have a strange relationship since Saba is dutifully in the service of Rami, who commanded him to protect and accompany Maviah at all costs. They have just been acquaintances for most of the book, respectful to each other. Saba was the only one who visited Maviah and was allowed to when she was in prison alone for 3 months. He was the only one she had contact with and talked with during that time. Without him, she would've gone insane. Then they left together to go back to Herod, and that was the first time he referred to her as his queen.

Really nice job explaining what happened in the book. It was very descriptive. It is very sad that Maviah made a deal with the king because the mission that she was sent on was practically impossible. I wonder if Maviah's dad still makes it out of the prison after all.

It's an interesting story, from your descriptive explanation I could tell that you seem very interested with the book. Do you believe you could live during this era ?
