An arranged marriage. A man whose heart is closed to love. A king whose life hangs in the balance. A nation on the brink of annihilation.

The scribe Sarah married Darius, and at times she feels as if she has married the Persian aristocracy, too.

Ordered to assist in the effort, the couple begins a journey to the homeland of his mother’s people. Will the road filled with danger, conflict, and surprising memories, help Darius to see the hand of God at work in his life–and even in his marriage?
