As the Eagle, Flies the King — Wendy M. McNeice

Forced into the harem of the evil royal heir-apparent, Prince Belshazzar, a young Jewess escapes the famed Hanging Gardens of Babylon and, with the words of the prophet Daniel in her ears, begins a quest that will take her halfway to Jerusalem dressed as a scribe. A Persian spy who is preparing to dam the river for King Cyrus has stolen her heart. Will he be a help or hindrance when Chaim finally discovers Y-H-W-Hs plan to save the Jews of Babylon? And can Chaim learn to embrace divine guidance when the Lord asks her to change direction?
