READ EBOOK ON ANY DEVICE / AUDIO & HARDBACK COMING SOON

She was Egypt's most gifted priestess. He was a Hebrew slave in chains. Their first glance ignited a love that would defy empires.

A brilliant Egyptian priestess and a prophetic Hebrew slave must decode a forbidden prophecy and outwit a scheming court to save Egypt from a looming famine, and to protect a love that crosses cultures and challenges gods.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Asenath has everything: beauty, power, and a direct line to the gods of Egypt. As the daughter of the high priest of On and the most spiritually gifted young priestess in the kingdom, her future seems written in gold hieroglyphs. Until the day she witnesses a Hebrew boy being sold in the Memphis slave market.

Joseph has lost everything, his family's love, his freedom, even his name. Betrayed by jealous brothers and sold to Ishmaelite traders, he should be just another piece of human cargo. But something in his bearing, even in chains, speaks of unbreakable dignity.

One shared glance between priestess and slave plants a seed of destiny that will grow through years of separation, false accusations, and impossible circumstances. As Joseph rises from slave to steward in the household of Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh's guard, Asenath finds herself drawn into his world and questioning everything she's been taught about power, justice, and the nature of divine love.

But their growing attraction doesn't go unnoticed. Khaemwaset, Potiphar's beautiful wife, wants Joseph for herself and will destroy anyone who stands in her way. Amenemheb, the ambitious slave trader who first bought Joseph, watches his former "property" gain influence and begins plotting to reclaim what he believes belongs to him.

When Khaemwaset's obsession explodes into false accusation and Joseph is thrown into Pharaoh's prison, Asenath must choose: remain silent and safe in her temple world, or risk everything to stand by the man who has awakened her heart and challenged her faith.

Set against the breathtaking splendor of ancient Egypt, with its golden temples, political intrigue, and deadly palace conspiracies, The Marketplace launches an epic trilogy that reimagines one of history's greatest love stories.

A stunning historical retelling that brings ancient Egypt to vivid life while delivering a romance that will make your heart race. Asenath is a heroine for the ages.

Perfect for fans of historical romance, biblical fiction, and epic love stories that span cultures and change destinies.

Love that transcends empires begins with a single glance...
