Muslims eagerly anticipate the appearance of the Mahdi, who will bring peace and tranquillity to the earth. Could an infant born in Israel during the Yom Kippur War be this Holy One? Ari Ben Chaim, abandoned at birth in 1973, now learns that four people in his life have been murdered by unknown assassins--his adoptive parents, a psychologist who treated him after he resigned from the Israeli Army, even an old Englishwoman who had been his baby nurse--and Ari must find out why.
In search of answers, he finds more questions when he is kidnapped by a Muslim splinter group who believes he is the Mahdi. He escapes from Damascus, then is recruited by the Mossad for a top secret mission into the heart of Iran?s weapons program. What he discovers in Iran terrifies him on both a global and personal level.
Meanwhile Lily, the woman he loves, waits for him in a remote Israeli village, where she tries to unravel mysteries of her own. What is the meaning of the words she discovered engraved on a stone in an overgrown convent garden in Jerusalem...and who is this Lord that her new friends worship?
A young Jewish couple, a splinter group of Muslims, Messianic Jews, and a long-hidden Biblical secret all collide in this gripping action adventure set in the Middle East.
First novel by Sharon Geyer author of the award winning Daughter of Jerusalem (FaithWalk). Who better to write a action adventure novel set in Iran and Israel than Geyer who herself fled from her abusive Iranian husband for a new life with Messianic Jews in Israel.
