THE HADASSAH COVENANT A Queen’s Legacy,
A POWERFUL, HEART-WRENCHING THRILLER SET IN ANCIENT AND MODERN IRAQ, IRAN AND ISRAEL What was the crowning moment of Esther’s life? Was it as the young and beautiful Hadassah whom the king chose as his bride? Or the incredibly risky and courageous moment when she begged him for the life of her people? Or perhaps that first Feast of Purim when the Hebrews in exile celebrated their salvation from annihilation with their beloved Queen? Whatever the exact moment of her destiny, Queen Esther’s legacy continues to modern times. But at the time, she easily could have wondered if her destiny was behind her. With her husband, King Xerxes, now dead, she felt that she had become merely a pathetic royal widow. Did her life still have purpose? The answer came in the person of Leah, the young Jewish woman also dragged into the Palace intrigue, whom Esther had befriended, the same Leah to whom she addressed her memoir. But the final proof of that destiny doesn’t surface until one pivotal evening in modern Iraq when the throb of a helicopter gunship signals a raid unlike any before it…. And when the screams and dust and chaos have settled, a lone man in civilian clothing stands over a pile of old documents…. A HISTORY-ALTERING TRUTH THUNDERS ACROSS THE CENTURIES…

" This Biblical tale offers some surprises, including Hadassah's first love, a boy who reaches great influence within the palace. The greatest change is the depth of character that the author creates. Esther, Xerxes, Mordecai and all of the smaller characters love, grieve and feel. This dazzling skill with character brings the story to life in a way that the Bible does not, changing it from a story of heroism to one woman's struggle to come to terms with the God who let her family die, and to finally reach love again. The historical details behind this love story are also quite amazing. Tactical details of Xerxes's campaign in Greece and details from the Bible showing the root of the hatred between Jews and the Agagites abound in the narrative. Descriptions of the palace, foods and beauty treatments reflecting the opulent Persian Empire will stun readers with their gorgeous depictions. At the same time, Esther's simple faith and courage outshine these descriptions as the character grows from the terrified daughter of murdered parents to the most powerful queen in the world, determined to protect her people, whatever the cost to herself. Esther's strength of character echoes into the modern day, becoming a powerful icon for Jewish women everywhere. " "...dazzling skill with character brings the story to life... historical details...are...amazing. Esther's... character echoes into the modern day." -- Rambles.net

[Five stars]
Wow! This book needs to come with a warning: Be prepared to stay up all night reading. Why? Because once you open the cover of THE HADASSAH COVENANT: A QUEEN¹S LEGACY, you will not want to stop reading regardless of what you need to do or how much sleep you are missing. Yes, this book is THAT good! While this novel could stand alone, I highly recommend first reading HADASSAH: ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING so you know the background story of the Biblical Hadassah before attempting to understand this storyline.
THE HADASSAH COVENANT spans two thousand years and several countries but is so finely interwoven the passage between the past and present doesn¹t jar the reader. The political aspect was easy to follow and wasn¹t confusing at all, even with some parts being fact and some fiction.
For me, the main idea I took away from both of these fabulous novels was that no matter how small and insignificant a person may think they are, God can and will use anyone to fulfill His purposes. I highly recommend this
thrilling, nail-biting adventure to lovers of historical thrillers, romance lovers, and well, just about everybody who can read! THE HADASSAH COVENANT:
A QUEEN¹S LEGACY has just been added to my keeper shelf along with its prequel, HADASSAH: ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING, and will be savored time and again in the future.

"(Four Stars) Tenney and Olsen's knuckle-biter has a compelling mystery set in both modern and biblical times. Characterization is light throughout, except for Esther and her modern namesake, Hadassah, who steal the show."
— Romantic Times "The new addition to the Hadassah series is a fun read, switching back and forth in time. As a mystery, it combines a historical Biblical story with a story set in current times—the past tied to the here and now."
— Awesome Fiction "This sequel makes the previous book much richer, and expands on that framing sequence beautifully. The action and storyline progress expertly... and the characters are interesting. Most interesting of all is the immediate aftermath of the Biblical Esther story, dealing with Xerxes and Esther's place in the court of Artaxerxes. Recommended."
—Tim Frankovich, Christian Fiction Review
