The Prophet and the Queen

by W. Tod Newman
No reviews yet. Be the first.

In this stunning historical narrative, experience the final days of the prophet Jeremiah through his own fevered words and the clear-eyed observations of his faithful scribe, Baruch.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of ancient Egypt as Babylon's armies approach, this unforgettable tale brings biblical history to vivid, haunting life. Jeremiah—broken, aging, and increasingly unstable—finds himself dragged to Egypt by his own people against divine command. There, as refugee Judeans struggle to preserve their identity while Egyptian forces prepare for invasion, the prophet receives unsettling visitations from two supernatural beings: the mysterious Voice that offers comfort, and the seductive Queen of Heaven who taunts and tempts him with cosmic insights.

With extraordinary psychological depth and spiritual complexity, the novel explores the prophet's deteriorating mental state as he grapples with divine purpose, human frailty, and the slow dissolution of his people's heritage. Meanwhile, Baruch chronicles everything—his master's prophetic utterances, his troubling delusions, and the political machinations that will determine the fate of empires. "The Prophet and the Queen" masterfully blends historical detail with mystical elements, creating an immersive journey into one of history's pivotal moments and the tortured mind of a man caught between worlds.

As Babylon marches closer and Egyptian defenses intensify, readers will be riveted by this intimate portrait of a prophet's final mission and the eternal struggle between faith and doubt.
