Description

In this fast-moving novel, we meet Prince Aziel, grandson of Solomon himself, who goes to Zimbabwe (then called Zimboe) and chances to meet the soul mate of his life: Elissa, daughter of Sakon, the governor of the city. The two instantly develop the mutual irresistibles for each other, but there are major problems: Aziel is a Jew, while Elissa, being a Phoenician worships Baal and Baaltis. To add to their ill-fated romance, Ithobal, the half-breed king of the native tribes, is threatening war if Elissa does not become his wife, and Issachar, a Levite prophet and Aziel's spiritual guardian, is doing everything he can to prevent this blasphemous union.
