With chutzpah and literary grace, said the reviewer in The Salt Lake Tribune, Ann Chamberlin re-creates King Davids court in this novel of biblical history. Reminiscent of. . . Mary Renault or Marion Zimmer Bradley, said Of a Like Mind magazine. Davids rise to power beckons Tamars mother to leave her temple, her priestess tradition and her first marriage to join the kings growing harem. Traveling with her, young Tamar gains the ancient gift of hearing the whispers of sacred serpents, the will of the Goddess. The conflict between her Goddess and Davids single God grows into a battle for the holy land, for succession, for souls, for love. For life itself.
