Through Gehazi's eyes, we witness miracles that defy belief: armies of fire, resurrections from the dead, and waters yielding way to the footfalls of great Prophets.
But beneath his privileged position lurks a fatal flaw. When a moment of weakness leads to an unforgivable betrayal, Gehazi's single decision unleashes consequences that will haunt not just him, but generations to come. Marked by leprosy and cast out from society, he must grapple with questions that echo through the centuries: How do we recover from our worst mistakes? Can divine mercy reach even those who have fallen furthest? And what does it mean to find redemption when the scars we've earned can never fade?
Part historical epic, part spiritual journey, The Eyes of Gehazi weaves magical realism with gritty historical detail to bring ancient Israel blazing to life. Through the scarred humanity of a man history remembers mainly for his failures, we discover uncomfortable truths about our own capacity for both glory and disgrace. This is more than just another Biblical retelling—it's an unflinching exploration of pride, power, and the long road home from exile.

With extraordinary psychological depth and spiritual complexity, the novel explores the prophet's deteriorating mental state as he grapples with divine purpose, human frailty, and the slow dissolution of his people's heritage. Meanwhile, Baruch chronicles everything—his master's prophetic utterances, his troubling delusions, and the political machinations that will determine the fate of empires.
"The Prophet and the Queen" masterfully blends historical detail with mystical elements, creating an immersive journey into one of history's pivotal moments and the tortured mind of a man caught between worlds. As Babylon marches closer and Egyptian defenses intensify, readers will be riveted by this intimate portrait of a prophet's final mission and the eternal struggle between faith and doubt.
