I don’t read much Biblical fiction, but when I do, Connilyn Cossette and Tessa Afshar are my go-to authors. I know when I read their stories I will be whisked back in time and totally absorbed in the stories they tell. The Hidden Prince does exactly that! I loved this story from start to finish.
There are so many wonderful characters! Daniel, Jared, Keren, and the shepherd boy she is eventually tasked to teach to name a few. This story is so immersive and so many unexpected things happen. There was one thing that literally had my jaw dropping and other things that I never saw coming- at all! While I loved both Keren and Jared and how their relationship evolved and showed true forgiveness, my favorite character was the boy that Keren was teaching. His story is amazing and his personality made me love him from the first time he appeared on the page!
This is a story that I didn’t want to end! I wanted to keep reading about these characters. Highly recommended!

From the bestselling author of Jewel of the Nile comes the thrilling tale of a woman who feels she has no future but soon discovers the fate of nations may rest in her hands.
The beloved daughter of Jewish captives in Babylon, Keren is sold into Daniel’s household to help her family survive. She becomes Daniel’s most trusted scribe, while taking lessons and swordsmanship training alongside Daniel’s sons and their best friend, Jared.
But after a tragic accident changes the course of her life, Keren finds herself in a foreign country, charged with a mysterious task: teaching a shepherd boy how to become a lord. When she overhears whispers that hint at his true identity, she realizes she must protect him from the schemes of a bloodthirsty king.
Jared cannot forgive Keren. Still, he finds himself traveling over mountains to fetch her back to the safety of home. When he discovers the secret identity of Keren’s pupil, Jared knows he must help protect him. Love battles bitterness as they flee from the king’s agents, trying to save the boy who could one day deliver their people from captivity.
