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. So, when she's married off at fifteen to Prince Ahab of Israel, she does what she must to gain power and remake the distant kingdom in the image of her beloved, prosperous homeland of Tye, beginning by building temples to the gods she grew up worshipping. She ushers Israel into a new era of prosperity; her subjects love her, and her name and those of her gods ring through the land. 

Until Elijah, the prophet of Yahweh and her former lover, begins to speak out against her. Her people turn on her. 

As bloodshed descends on Israel and ancient powers and faiths are pitted against each other, Jezebel 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.
