Description
AD 878. Three mysterious figures board a Red Sea ship. Dressed as Muslims, they are in fact Jews far away from their home in Babylon.
They are not the only passengers. Two Africans are also aboard.
Adiva, clearly the leader, first notices the darker man and his piercing blue eyes.
She is intrigued when she realizes that they speak Hebrew—only known from the sacred texts—and not Aramaic, the lingua franca of her world.
Thus begins the re-telling of the true adventures of Eldad the Danite, a member of one of the lost ten tribes of Israel. His stunning tale of pirates, slave traders, cannibals, and people of all faiths trying to live together, brilliantly combined with a love story between two extraordinary characters makes this a historical novel to remember.
