The Tenth Measure — Brenda Lesley Segal

Flee through the golden fields of the Holy Land with Alexandra, strong-willed and gray-eyed descendant of the House of David, sold as a slave into the incredible degradation that was Rome. -- Walk the streets of Jerusalem with Eleazar, the warrior fighting to free his people from Rome and himself from the memory of the woman he can never have. -- Join them in the glory that was Masada where they meet in the tempest of the greatest battle and the most magnificent love the world has ever known.
