Trapped in a lonely, loveless marriage with a ruthless gambler obsessed with his next wager, Zara secretly longs for freedom and love. Amidst the narrow streets and bustling sacred courts of ancient Jerusalem, her only solace comes in stolen moments with Auriga Maximus, famed charioteer and her husband’s slave. Surrender to her secret temptation leaves her thrown onto the pavement stones of the Temple courtyard––accused, condemned, facing death –– cast at the feet of Yeshua of Nazareth. He offers her mercy and a new path.

Zara must now face the cruel schemes of her husband and the perils of political treachery. She battles dangers incited by such notable biblical figures as Herodias, Herod, Pontius Pilate, and High Priest Caiaphas. What begins as a desperate fight for survival, and a chance at a new life, becomes a journey of faith, freedom, and mercy. A journey with Yeshua of Nazareth to His suffering on the Cross.

Blending romance, suspense, and biblical truth, A Certain Mercy is a powerful story of redemption and forgiveness –– forgiveness of others and forgiveness of self.
