The Unforgiven King - Summary“Put this book down! Walk away. There are things inside you don’t want to hear. Within these covers are men and women you think you know, but you haven’t the faintest idea what they’re capable of. This is a world full of passion and bloodshed and madness and treachery, and just for the briefest, most fleeting moment, love.”Almost forgotten by history Loshema (no name) might have passed into obscurity, just another slave at the court of Herod the Great. But Loshema has a talent for storytelling. Hidden in the shadows she charts Herod’s rise from man to king, and from king to monster.As Loshema talks, the reader is drawn into the fascinating and dangerous world of Jerusalem over two millennia ago, a world populated with the great names of the time, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Octavian …But Loshema is no passive observer. On reaching maturity, she finds herself entangled with the highest levels of intrigue. And as paranoia begins to destroy Herod’s kingdom, she suddenly finds herself wielding power over who will live and who will die.(This book is based on the accounts in Josephus, not the gospel of Matthew.)“Many innocents will die before this story is over. Though they won’t be the ones you were expecting. And the son of God has less to fear in this world than the sons of man. But why waste time? We both know why you are here. You want to see the monster.”
