All your life, you dreamed about the City of God.
By a crazy accident, you got stuck there, and now it's home.
You're going to live and die in ancient Jerusalem.
You have four years before all hell breaks loose on the City of God.
Your name is Rivka Meyers, and you are a total misfit.
You time-traveled from 21st century Jerusalem back to the year AD 57. Misfit.
You are a woman who knows the future, living in a culture where women are expected to shut up and obey. Misfit.
You made the mistake of telling what you know, and now everyone calls you the witch woman. Misfit.
You have a photographic memory, and that's your curse. Because you read all the history books and you know what's coming. Retribution for the City of God.
You know that in April of the year 66 the Roman governor is going to ride into town and crucify 3000 people in one day. In retribution. For an insult.
Your husband, Ari Kazan, is a physicist who tells you every day you can't change the future.
And you believe him. You've realized you can't change the destiny of the City of God.
But you know one other thing. You're part of the destiny of this city. What you do matters. If you can't save the city, you can save your friends, the people you love.
There's just one problem.
How are you supposed to help people who think you're a witch woman?
People who don't believe a word you say?
People who think God is about to begin a war of liberation?
People who hate you, because they know you're fighting God?
How do you save people who don't think they need saving?
How much are you willing to risk to save people who despise you?
Will you risk your life?
Your husband's life?
Your daughter's life?
About The BookRetribution is a time-travel suspense novel that mixes science, history, religion, romance, and adventure. It's about making hard ethical choices between two terrible wrongs. It's about digging deep to help people who won't be helped. It's about being a badass fighter for justice, even when you're fresh out of easy answers to hard questions.
Retribution won the 2005 Carol award for best Christian historical novel.
Retribution will take you on a wretched, miserable, dangerous adventure through the filthy, bandit-ridden streets of first-century Jerusalem, right into the jaws of the catastrophic Jewish revolt that began in the year 66.

- Book 1: Transgression (A.D. 57)
- Book 2: Premonition (A.D. 57-62)
