Darya does not remember how she came to be a slave or who she was before she was bought by an army captain for his motherless daughter in the ancient Persian city of Susa. Protected and nurtured by the housekeeper and her daughter, Darya has as good a life as a slave can have, even acquiring the rare skill of reading and writing, which she learns alongside her young mistress. When the captain dies and the household is broken up, this skill proves to be her lifeline. She becomes the seventh handmaiden to the mysterious Esther, who is being housed at the Royal Palace while in contention to be King Xerxes’ new Queen. However, life in Ancient Persia is precarious for women and outsiders, wherever they are in the hierarchy. When the king appoints a new prime minister called Haman, Darya and Esther are drawn into his murderous conflict with the Judean community and Mordechai, their leader, who lives just outside the palace gates. In a world of discord and uprising, Darya seeks to fix the world around her and protect her friends, while also trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding who she is and how she became a slave. As she grows from childhood to womanhood she grapples with her own identity, her aspirations and desires and begins to understand the true meaning of both slavery and freedom.

Aislin and Caitrin's birth, marked the onset of a time of great change, the endings of false paths, and the beginnings of new and true paths, as Destiny pressed forward with her revised prophesy for The Dragon Isles. Many would become witting or unwitting tools. All would be transformed, but none more so than Aislin and Caitrin. She and Caitrin felt like sisters, like twins. They suckled at the same breast, learned to crawl and walk on the same rug, played in the same nursery, and studied with the same tutors. They were playmates, and best friends. Aislin learned languages, academics, courtly manners and the intrigues of the kingdoms along side the princess Caitrin. They had the same auburn curls, the same eyes. But Caitrin was the Princess, bearer of the prophesy of sevens, and Aislin was her handmaiden and her double in dangerous public settings. Aislin was never allowed to forget the social gulf between the princess Caitrin and herself, the handmaiden, until the seer Liadan reappeared in her life and exposed her and Caitrin's true destinies.Aislin must escape an arranged marriage, learn about the real world free of the politically correct history taught in the royal circles, and take up the yoke of her own Trial of Sevens. She must travel the length and breadth of the Isles and be the catalyst to reunite the seven squabbling kingdoms before they are overrun by Cadeyrn of Baymoor. She must resolve her place within the royal family and accept her role in destiny's prophesy for the Dragon Isles. Along the way she finds love and acceptance and at the conclusion she realizes that defeating Cadeyrn was only a first goal, a first step in a much larger set of tasks for the entire Dragon Isles that involves the dragons of lore. She and Caitrin both will have to stand up even against their loved ones to perform their duty to Destiny and the Dragon Isles.Before Aislin and Caitrin were born, Liadan created the Prophesy of Sevens and as prophesied, the great kingdom of Hoxnia was divided, upon king Cian's death, into seven little squabbling kingdoms ruled by his seven sons. After years of strife, King Biorna of Baymoor was overthrown and exiled by Cadeyrn the merciless. Seven years later, as prophesied, the seventh son of Cian, and his Queen, prepare to have a seventh princess. Presiding at the birth is Liadan in disguise. She delivers Caitrin, Princess of Sevens, Princess of Mountain View, the bearer of prosperity and good fortune. Aislin, is introduced to the Queen, as a foundling, to be a companion to the princess and later a handmaiden and double. The Prophesy of the Seventh Princess:Even as there are seven planets in the skies, and as it took seven days to create the world, and as each phase of the moon lasts seven days, and as the musical scale has seven notes, and as the rainbow has seven colors, the seven sons of Cian will bring down the house of Cian upon his untimely but imminent death. Then, in the fullness of time, from the loins of a son of Cian, a seventh princess will be born, the seventh successive princess. She will be born in the seventh month, on the seven day, at the seventh hour of the seventh year of the reign of Cadeyrn the merciless, of Baymoor. The mark of the dragon will be upon her right hand and in the fullness of her own life, she will return prosperity and fortune to the Dragon Isle.

In this wonderful novel about love and trust, hope and belief, Elizabeth Berg, the bestselling author of We Are All Welcome Here and The Year of Pleasures, transports us to Nazareth in biblical times to reimagine the events of the classic Christmas story. We see Mary–young, strong, and inquisitive–as she first meets Joseph, a serious-minded young carpenter who is steadfastly devoted to the religious traditions of their people. The two become betrothed, but are soon faced with an unexpected pregnancy. Aided by a great and abiding love, they endure challenges to their relationship as well as threats to their lives as they come to terms with the mysterious circumstances surrounding the birth of their child, Jesus. For Mary, the pregnancy is a divine miracle and a privilege. For Joseph, it is an ongoing test not only of his courage but of his faith–in his wife as well as in his God. Exquisitely written and imbued with the truthful emotions and richness of detail that have earned Elizabeth Berg a devoted readership, The Handmaid and the Carpenter explores lives touched profoundly by miracles large and small. This powerful and moving novel is destined to become a classic.
