Jezebel Av Megan Barnard

<b>With a bold voice reminiscent of Madeline Miller''s <i>Circe</i>, a stunning reimagining of the story of a fierce princess from Tyre and her infamous legacy</b><br><br>Jezebel was born into the world howling. She intends to leave it the same way.<br><br>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.<br><br>Then Elijah, the prophet of Yahweh and her former lover, begins to speak out against her. Bitter at having been abandoned by Jezebe
