'J Francis Hudson writes powerful historical novels based in the Old Testament.' (Peter Guttridge, The Independent)

In the days of Ahab, king of Israel, and Jezebel his Tyrian queen, a princess of Aram is orphaned and taken captive by Israelite raiders in a brutal attack on her father's camp.

Independent in spirit and pagan by upbringing, she must fight to preserve her pride while serving as a slave among an alien people whose own world is already in turmoil.

Briefly finding love with a fellow servant, Maacah has her life torn apart once again when she is taken south to the land of Judah to serve Jezebel's daughter.

Here she is caught up in a whirlwind of events which will change the fate of both kingdoms.

'No Queen in Zion' as a paperback is available new from Amazon for £9.99 or as a Kindle Edition for £1.99. There are no used copies as yet.

It is not yet available in other bookshops.

(It is possible to order the book directly from me at £8.50 per volume, plus postage and packing, but it will probably work out cheaper to order from Amazon unless you can collect the book from me in person. For my contact details please go to the 'contact' section of the biography page.)
