Read Jewel of Persia Storyline:

How can she love the king of kings without forsaking her Lord of
lords?Kasia grew up in a poor Jewish home with more siblings than
luxuries. But when a chance encounter forces her to the palace of
Xerxes, she becomes a concubine to the richest man in the world. She
alone, of all Xerxes' wives, loves the man beneath the crown. She alone,
of all his wives, holds the heart of the king of kings.Traveling with
Xerxes through Europe as he mounts a war against Greece, Kasia knows
enemies surround her, but they're not the Spartans or Athenians. The
threat lies with those close to the king who hate her people. She
determines to put her trust in Jehovah–even if it costs her her
marriage.Years of prayers are answered when Kasia's childhood friend
arrives at the palace after the war, but even as she determines to see
Esther crowned in place of the bloodthirsty former queen, she knows the
true battle is far from over. How far will her enemies go to see her
undone?Combining the biblical account of Esther with Herodotus's
Histories, Jewel of Persia is the story of a love that nearly destroys
an empire . . . and the friendship that saves a nation.
