520    "With a bold voice reminiscent of Madeline Miller's Circe,
       a stunning reimagining of the story of a fierce princess 
       from Tyre and her infamous legacy Jezebel was born into 
       the world howling. She intends to leave it the same way. 
       When Jezebel learns she can't be a king like her father 
       simply because she's a girl, she vows never to become 
       someone's decorative wife, nameless and lost to history. 
       At fifteen she's married off, despite her protests, to 
       Prince Ahab of Israel. There, she does what she must to 
       gain power and remake the dry and distant kingdom in the 
       image of her beloved, prosperous seaside homeland of Tyre,
       beginning by building temples to the gods she grew up 
       worshipping. As her initiatives usher in an era of 
       prosperity for Israel, her new subjects love her, and her 
       name rings through the land. Then Elijah, the prophet of 
       Yahweh and her former lover, begins to speak out against 
       her. Bitter at having been abandoned by Jezebel, he lashes
       out, calling her a slut. Harlot. Witch. And the people, 
       revering their prophet's message, turn on her. As ancient 
       powers and faiths are pitted against each other, bloodshed
       descends on Israel and Jezebel faces the fall of her 
       legacy. Determined despite the odds to make Israel a great
       nation, she must decide how far she's willing to go to 
       protect her family, her throne--her name. A stunning 
       revision of a notorious queen's story, Jezebel is a 
       thrilling lyrical debut about a fierce woman who refuses 
       to be forgotten"--|cProvided by publisher.
