The beloved daughter of Jewish captives in Babylon, Keren is sold into Daniel’s household to help her family survive. She becomes Daniel’s most trusted scribe, while taking lessons and swordsmanship training alongside Daniel’s sons and their best friend, Jared.

When she overhears whispers that hint at his true identity, she realizes she must protect him from the schemes of a bloodthirsty king.
