The situation is desperate. Only a miracle can save them now. But will it come too late?
It's Passover eve, and the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem is being starved into submission. Arab forces hold the only road into the Old City—the rocky Pass of Bab el Wad. If Haganah leader Moshe Sachar and his men can't capture and hold the pass tonight, long enough for the Jewish Agency's food convoy to get through, people will die.
As Moshe approaches Bab el Wad, his beloved Rachel must make her own dangerous journey—through the Arab stronghold of Sheikh Jarrah. Their baby, Tikvah, fights for her life at Hadassah Hospital.
As the Mufti vows to drive all Jews into the sea, David and Ellie Meyer search the Mediterranean for a freighter loaded with weapons for the Muslim Jihad. But will this last-ditch effort come in time to save the Jewish nation?
The Zion Chronicles Series covers the events surrounding Israel's statehood in 1948. Each book vividly portrays the intense struggle of the Jewish people in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the forces, within and without, which engulf the Middle East in conflict and controversy even today. Will there ever be peace in Zion? The Jewish people wonder as they stream into the British Mandate of Palestine after the devastation of World War II. What has happened to God's promises to their nation?
