For years, her hidden name kept her alive. Now silence could destroy her people.
The decree has been sealed.
Across the Persian Empire, the order has gone out: on one appointed day, every Jew-young and old, women and children-is to be destroyed.
At the king's gate, Mordecai tears his clothes and mourns.
Inside the palace, Queen Esther knows almost nothing.
She has lived behind guarded doors, separated from the streets of Susa and protected by the very secret that now threatens to condemn her. The empire knows its queen as Esther.
It does not know she is one of the people marked for death.
Then Mordecai's message reaches her.
Esther could remain silent. She could keep her identity hidden and hope the palace walls protect her.
But silence is no longer safety.
There is only one person who might stop what is coming-the same king Esther has not been summoned to see for thirty days.
To approach him without invitation is forbidden.
If he refuses to extend the golden sceptre, she dies.
So Esther makes her choice.
For three days, she and her people fast.
Then the queen puts on her royal robes and walks toward the inner court.
What follows will draw Esther, Mordecai, Haman and the king into a deadly sequence of banquets, pride, sleeplessness, forgotten records and extraordinary reversals. Haman prepares death for the man who refuses to bow before him. A king discovers a loyalty that was never rewarded. And a queen who has spent years concealing her people finally prepares to speak their name as her own.
Because Haman's greatest mistake was believing the woman wearing the crown had nothing to do with the people he condemned.
The hidden woman is about to become the queen who speaks.
When the Queen Spoke is Book Four of The Hidden Name, a sweeping adult biblical historical-fiction saga that retells the story of Esther through the people who stood beside her.
Rich with Persian court intrigue, political terror, friendship, sacrifice and the quiet mystery of providence, this is the moment toward which Esther's hidden life has been moving.
The decree has already been written.
The enemy has already won the king's authority.
Now Esther must enter the throne room without being summoned-and risk everything on what happens when the king looks up.
