Esther – Royal Beauty

<b>When an ambitious tyrant threatens genocide against the Jews, an inexperienced young queen must take a stand for her people. <br/></b><br/><br/>When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as <i>Esther</i> wins the king''s heart and a queen''s crown. But because her situation is uncertain, she keeps her ethnic identity a secret until she learns that an evil and ambitious man has won the king''s permission to exterminate all Jews--young and old, powerful and helpless. Purposely violating an ancient Persian law, she risks her life in order to save her people...and bind her husband''s heart.
