About This Book

A historical tale set during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes and the rise of Judas Maccabaeus follows a young woman whose personal journey becomes entwined with wider political and military upheaval. The narrative moves between sumptuous court pageantry and harsh battlefields, presenting sieges, raids, trials, and diplomatic intrigue. Interpersonal ties—romance, rivalry, loyalty, and betrayal—complicate allegiances, and the protagonist’s growth illuminates questions of faith, identity, and the price of liberty. Episodic chapters combine dramatic action with moments of introspection to create a vivid panorama of conflict and moral testing.

JAMES M. LUDLOW, D.D., Litt.D.

Author of "The Captain of the Janizaries," "Deborah," etc.

Along the Friendly Way

Reminiscences and Impressions. Frontispiece. 12mo, cloth, net

Dr. Ludlow has observed keenly, and thought wisely and deeply; he has read extensively, traveled widely, and rubbed elbows and wits with men great and little of many nations and under varying conditions. He is the "full man" of which the philosopher speaks. And all these intellectual and spiritual riches garnered from many harvests he spreads before the reader in a style that is remarkable for its felicity of phrasing, the color of its varied imagery, and its humor, warmth, and human sympathy.
