In this captivating novel, a biblical parable intertwines with the story of Zissel, the illegitimate daughter of a simple girl, Lydia, and King Solomon. Born mute, Zissel hears and understands everything. And on the night her younger brother is born, Zissel unwittingly witnesses an unthinkable conspiracy. Thus she sets off for the court of King Solomon—a wise, yet cruel and debauched ruler. No one, not even Solomon himself, knows of Zissel's true origins. But her eye color gives her away. For middle and older school-aged children.
