Princess Makeda of Sheba finds herself thrust into the role of Queen of Sheba when her mother and many of her subjects are killed in an attack by a neighboring tribe. Not wanting a husband, but knowing her country is at risk from other tribes who want Sheba's wealth and its lands, Makeda agrees to her foster uncle's plan to seek a marriage alliance with the King of Judah, Solomon. Yet when she meets the magnificent king, she can't help but fall in love with him-he's everything a man and a king should be: wise, handsome, sensitive to his people and strong. Gladly she pledges her life and love to him.
Solomon is in love for the first time in his life-despite having over 600 wives and concubines. Yet, the woman of his heart is a pagan and his elders will not conscience her as a Queen of Judah. But that's the least of his problems-someone is trying to kill Makeda and he suspects the culprit is a member of his own household. Pledging his love to Makeda, Solomon vows to protect her and her life.
In this lush, exotic tale woven from the Biblical tale of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Ms. Dennie has brought to life two of history's most famous and romantic couples. -- Romantic Times Magazine
