Trained in Samaria's ruthless court and married into David's house to seal an alliance, Athaliah learns that southern thrones keep the same knives as northern ones. When Jehu's purge kills her son, she does not flee - she erases the royal seed that could unseat her and rules Judah alone for six years.
In the seventh year the priest Jehoiada crowns the hidden boy she never found. She cries treason in the house of YHWH and dies on the road of the horses, the only reigning queen of Judah ended by the house she tried to extinguish.
The Queen of Blood is historical fiction grounded in Kings and Chronicles: a novel of foreign queenship, mother-love turned arithmetic, and power taught as survival. Book Four of The Unsung.
