Description
One of the darkest battles ever fought was not won or lost on a medieval battlefield but in one of the most opulent palaces ever built. The strategies come not from men eager to extend their influence but from women bent on exercising their wit and prowess in a kingdom not their own. Treason and murder are fair game. Marriage is manipulation, a means to an end. Children are the enemy. And the days of the House of David are numbered--unless one woman...

"Jezebel is a light-hearted take on a biblical tale of tragedy and woe. Brubaker manages to stay faithful to his material, while keeping his tongue firmly in cheek. From irreverent prophets to a wise-cracking deity, God's wrath has never been more fun!" --page [4] of cover.

"Jezebel died 3,000 years ago. But her spirit lives today. Jezebel was the most wicked woman in the Bible, a powerful seductress who killed the prophets, led Israel into idolatry and immorality, and emasculated men. She was seductive and determined to snuff out the voices coming against her, because these voices were calling out for repentance. In twenty-first-century America, Jezebel is not a person. But it's as if the spirit of Jezebel is alive...

Jakes, Lomax...
