Christina Rich's award-winning novel The Guardian's Promise transports readers to the ancient region of Judah in 10th-century-BCE Judea during the reign of the powerful but evil-hearted Queen Athalia.
The novel takes a unique historical perspective, immersing readers in the high drama of ancient Kingdoms - the triumphs, betrayals, and deceptions that characterized the game-changing era in the history of the Judean-Israelite kingdom.
Living in the desert oasis of the northern border of the kingdom, twenty-year-old Mira Elathil, citizen of Moshe, has spent her entire life observing the complex relations and shifting alliances among the tribes and certain key families throughoutJudah. Yet that all shifts dramatically when the rulers of other kingdoms plot to revive a succession dispute between Mira's family and pave the way for a foreign overlordship. Rival factions close in on Mira and her family, yet only one unlikely shield stands between small-town Mira and certain death – or more likely exile and imprisonment - guardsmen who have come to protect her and uncover the evidence of her royal lineage. Hidden away in plain sight for days in concealing plain sight is the stalwart servantof women attributed to prayer services at a nearbytemple, Ari. As Ari cautiously defends Mira, he must also deal with the enigmatic nature of his own personal past, his ties to the dynasty of the fallen King Joash, and his attraction to the princess. Can the lives of Joash - and in time of Mira – be defended? And will Ari's authentic loyalty to the rights of an individual - perhaps even his love for Mira - cost him his allegiance to both his assigned duty as anisle protector or perhaps subject him to exile or even execution? . .

When their pursuit leads them to Mira’s village, only her father’s bondservant, Ari, a man shrouded in secrets, can keep Mira safe.Abandoning his life as a temple guard and becoming an indentured servant was the only way Ari could protect young Joash, the true King of Judah, from Queen Athaliah.
