Although the temple has been rebuilt in Jerusalem, the people of Israel are still largely unsettled. How will they be able to stand together in the face of a recently issued decree from the king of Persia that could totally annihilate them? It is up to a young Jewish woman, Esther, to prevent that day from coming.
Against the historical backdrop of the rise and fall of maneuvering kings and warring empires in 1 and amp; 2 Kings and 1 and amp; 2 Chronicles, the fictional series Kingdoms traces the saga of the dedicated advisor Iddo and his descendants. As he remains loyal to the memory of the just King Josiah and labors to keep his nation faithful to the Lord, Iddo struggles to protect his own family. ARMIES DESCEND ON A CITY WITH NO WALL. The grandeur and strength of Persia is far from Jerusalem---a city laid broken with no defense. But the Jewish people's safety rests in the empire's queen, as the beautiful Esther must decide whether to risk her life to save her people from genocide. Enemies encroach as the gamble of a queen and the hope of a prophet attempt to restore the fortunes of the chosen people.
