Beloved — Rachel Starr Thomson

If you want to change a man, change his god. The Sacred Land is in turmoil, and the terrible judgment foreseen by the prophets even now wings its way over the sea. A bloodthirsty queen reigns in the Holy City, and the dragon-headed god Kimash is ascendant. For Alack, forced into unwilling service to a ruthless conqueror; Rechab, caught in a net of tragedy and treason; and Flora, delivered into the hands of her enemies, it seems all hope is lost. But hope does not die easily. The story in the stars may yet hold a surprise for all who dare read it--and for all who dare risk everything to save their souls. BELOVED is Book 3 in The Prophet Trilogy, a biblical fantasy set in a near-historical world of deserts, temples, and spiritual forces that vie for the hearts of men. If you love deep characterization, stories that make you think, and inspirational fiction that wrestles with questions and moves your heart to connect more deeply with God, this series is for you.
