Crown Of Silence: A Novel of Esther, Hidden Identity, and Courage Before the King (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257392580)

A biblical historical novel of Esther, hidden identity, and courage before the king.

In the shadow of the Persian court, silence can feel like wisdom. It can also become a prison.

Crown Of Silence is a Christian historical fiction novel that reimagines the story of Esther with emotional depth, spiritual weight, and a strong sense of place. When Queen Vashti falls, Hadassah is swept into the royal system of Susa, separated from the ordinary life she knew and drawn into a palace where beauty is measured, names are managed, and survival often depends on what remains unspoken. Renamed Esther, she learns quickly that favor is fragile, rank is no shield, and the cost of hidden identity may be far greater than she imagined.

As Esther rises in the king's house, Mordecai remains at the gate, watching the movements of power with a steady eye. But the court darkens under the rise of Haman, and what begins as offense and pride grows into something far more dangerous. A decree goes out. A people are threatened. The distance between palace comfort and public terror collapses. How long can Esther remain silent? And what happens when the safety that once protected her becomes the very thing that endangers others?

This Esther novel is written for readers who want more than a simple retelling. It offers a richly imagined Persian court, a strong female-centered point of view, and a deeply felt journey through fear, obedience, faith, and costly courage. The novel lingers over the inner pressures of hiddenness, the moral weight of timing, and the painful truth that sometimes the hardest act is not surviving in the shadows, but stepping into the light when truth demands a voice.

With vivid scenes in Susa, a steady thread of spiritual tension, and a manuscript-faithful connection to the Book of Esther, Crown Of Silence delivers the reading experience many readers seek in biblical historical fiction, women of the Bible fiction, and faith-based historical novels. It is a story of palace intrigue, Jewish identity under threat, loyalty at the gate, and courage before the king. It is also a story about what silence costs, what obedience requires, and what can happen when one woman finally speaks.

Readers can expect a clean Christian novel with historical atmosphere, emotional intensity, and reverent treatment of Scripture's larger arc. This is a Queen Esther retelling shaped for readers who love biblical fiction that feels immersive, serious, and spiritually resonant without losing narrative momentum.

When the decree is written and the moment arrives, silence is no longer enough.
