Description
An outcast and a pagan, KADAR THE NORTHMAN can't ignore the plea of a highborn Jewess who is desperate to recover her young son. Wronged by her power-hungry father, LYDIA ONIAS turns to the giant, blue-eyed barbarian who had been such a comfort during her bleakest moments. Denying their love as impossible to fulfill, Kadar and Lydia find more trouble when they align with Herod, whose power is threatened by palace conspiracies and murder.
But everyone's lives and future prospects are jeopardized when Jerusalem is attacked by an invading army. Kadar accompanies Herod to the dangerous courts of Cleopatra and Mark Antony to seek men and money to strike back. With Lydia and Herod's family stranded atop the water-starved heights of Masada, the fate of a nation and the woman he loves depend on the sword of... The Barbarian.
Advance Praise
Praise for The Warrior, first in The Herod Chronicles series:
Amazon 5 star review – "Thomas brings the sights and sounds of ancient cities to brilliant life while weaving political intrigue and a sweet, smoking love story into one well-paced, suspenseful story."
Amazon 5 star review - "The Warrior is an excellent book with a perfect mix of action and suspense."
Goodreads 5-star review - …I wish I could give this book way more than 5 stars! I love historical fiction, but this book is a definite standout in the genre. …beautifully written, and wonderfully detailed. The characters and plot are complex and engaging. I read this book in one night…I couldn't put it down. …this book is a must read for anyone, not just fans of the historical fiction genre.
Amazon 4-star review – "... set in Biblical times, [The Warrior] presents a touching romance in a big story with the sweeping feel of a saga…[with] just enough historical context--locations, customs, religion, politics…sights and scents and sounds…to immerse the reader in the story. Both historical and fictional characters have depth and individual personalities, with strengths and flaws. The many challenges and twists and turns kept me reading way past the time to turn off the light."
