When Hannah has to leave her pampered life at the court of Babylon to go to the wilderness of Judah, she is frightened at the prospect. Her father Jorah, a judge under the Persian King Cyrus, is a leader of the Jews who want to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their Temple, In accord with a prophecy given by the prophet Isaiah, the Persian King Cyrus releases the Jews and gives them funds for their journey. To Jorah, their mission is a holy quest directed by their God, but Hannahs favorite brother Behai rebels and stays behind. He doesnt believe in the dream of his father, and wants to marry Hannahs best friend and make his own way among the power brokers of the Persian Empire. Although Behai loves his family and tries to help them at first, political pressure against the Jerusalem party forces him to abandon them to their own resources.Only when a plot to rob Jerusalem of military defenses threatens the lives of his family does Behai find the courage to outwit the plotters and prevent a Samaritan attack. Even after this, however, he rejects his fathers pleas and turns his back on his family again. Many years later a deadly threat against his brother Eliakims life brings Behai back into the family fold. The two work together to expose a vicious plot to attack the Jewish colony in Jerusalem and halt the restoration of the Temple. In Jerusalem, Hannah, her family and the other returned exiles struggle against famine and the hostility of the nations already occupying Judah....
