In their most dramatic, ambitious, and significant historical series to date, Bodie and Brock Thoene once again transport readers back in time to first century AD and the most critical events in the history of the world. In Fourth Dawn, Herod, the king of Judea, plunges deeper into madness as people wonder, Where is the promised liberator? As signs appear in the heavens, Mary of Nazareth receives an unusual visitor. What he tells her will change everything about her life . . . and impact all those in Judea and beyond for eternity!

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Betrayal and suspicion are the coin of the realm as King Herod plunges deeper into madness. Where is the promised liberator who will set the world right?

No one is secure in Judea. Plots are hatched, poisonings contrived, and the least innuendo can bring torture or execution. As the people long for the true heir of King David to take the throne, Herod determines to hold on to his kingdom . . . no matter the price.

As young Mary of Nazareth tends a cow in her parents’ barn, she receives an unusual visitor. What he tells her will change everything about her life . . . and impact all those in Judea and beyond—for eternity! Yet will Yosef, her betrothed, believe her? Or will she lose the one she loves?

Onias the Tutor puzzles over the ancient prophecies in secret. If anyone discovers what he knows, not only he, but his beloved wife and child, will be in imminent peril.

Now signs are appearing in the heavens. But what do they mean?
