Moon Goddess : The Queen of Sheba

by Janice L. Dennie

In the tenth century BC, Princess Makeda grieves as Zagwe warriors storm through her beloved Sheba, forcing her to seek a political alliance.... And she suffers humiliation by the handsome King Solomon who would offer her marriage in exchange for protection...Even though she fears being cast into his harem of seven hundred wives, she aches to know the rapture of his tender kiss.

For the first time ever, powerful King Solomon has been conquered, and by the defiant and beautiful Queen of Sheba. He must have the sensuous enchantress who resists his remedy for the alliance she seeks. And he will risk life itself to protect the woman who has pierced his heart with a tender love that he cannot deny.

Reviews

[Janice Dennie]

MOON GODDESS is a fabulous retelling of the biblical romance between Solomon and Sheba. The story line is fast-paced and filled with a genuine feel for the era. The characters seem genuine without losing or changing what the bible describes of them. Janice L. Dennie demonstrates she is a major talent within the biblical historical fiction sub-genre. Fans who relish a wonderful love tale from out of the Old Testament will want to read this novel and its predecessor (see THE LION OF JUDAH). Both novels contain entertaining, well written, and exciting tales. Anyone who does will be a fan of Ms. Dennie and clamor for an early release of book three, MENELIK AND THE LOST ARK.
