Peace between their two kingdoms hangs in the balance.

Though she was Princess of Israel and he Crown Prince of the Hivites, Dinah and Shechem couldn’t hide their very public love affair that ended in tragedy when they were fifteen. Dinah’s greatest anguish is that the love of her life was torn from her arms, never to return, not even to apologize for hurting her.

Six years later, Dinah is an outspoken advocate ministering to survivors of sexual assault, teaching the importance of empowerment, self-defense, and peace through forgiveness.

But when she sees her childhood sweetheart for the first time after six years, the reunion brings every emotion to the surface. The good and the bad.

Having devoted his life to God and to his kingdom, Shechem is preparing to step into his father’s shoes and needs the support of Dinah’s father and brothers. And he wants mercy and grace from his princess.

Suddenly “peace through forgiveness” feels like a great catchphrase for Dinah’s motivational speeches, but nearly impossible for her to implement.

Can Dinah follow her own advice for the sake of peace, forgive the boy who abandoned her, and accept the man of God he is today?

Nickname(s): Gil

Love Interest: Ayelet

Age: 20

Modern day location of his tribe: Acre, Israel in a palace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Best friend/ worst enemy: Gil’s pretty much a loner who has no real friends but not really any enemies either. In past years, he’s partied with Elishama (Shama), the Prince of Ephraim and sometimes Elizur (Zurri), the Prince of Reuben.
​
What’s his story? In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Gil needs help. He’s addicted to several drugs and needs rehab. Unfortunately, his life gets worse before it gets better. But he has a good heart. And really, Gil is possibly one of my favorite princes in the series.

Nickname(s): None

Love Interest: Deborah, Prophetess (sister to Eliab (Eli), Prince of Zebulon)

Age: 21

Modern day location of his tribe: Tiberias, Israel

Best friend/ worst enemy: His bestest friend is Deborah, but he also considers Eliab (Eli) to be his best friend (even though he’s sneaking around behind his back with his younger sister). No enemies to speak of.
​
What’s his story? Ahira is a goofy, eccentric, flamboyant tree hugger who is one of the fastest runners in all of Israel. This will come into play somewhere later in the story, but I’m not sure how yet. He is madly in love with Deborah, and they love to go skinny dipping together. Even though they’re waiting to have sex until they’re married, temptation is right there. She’s getting harder to resist. But she’s a prophetess, and he’s a prophet who is very in-tune with the body/spirit connection. Hence the reason he loves to be naked with her. Skin to skin they’re able to connect spiritually but their bodies can only handle so much temptation. They need to get married. Now!

What’s his story? Zurri is a playboy who needs to stop sleeping around and drinking. He’s been hunting for the girl who broke his heart and took his innocence when he was sixteen. Instead of waiting for her, he’s hooking up with any girl who’s willing. When he finally locates Daniella, he learns that their little one-night stand resulted in an adorable little boy. Now he needs to clean up his act and make himself worthy of his future wife and son, if she’ll even speak to him again.

Nickname(s): None (possibly Benji but only in a derogatory way)

Love Interest: Mira, the Prophet Aaron’s daughter

Modern day location of his tribe: Ramallah, West Bank, Palestine

Best friend/ worst enemy: Abidan is an enemy to everyone except Nahshon (Shon), Prince of Judah, who is his mentor. They hang out briefly with Shelumiel, Prince of Simeon, but mainly because they’re close in age.
​
What’s his story? Abidan starts off as kind of a know-it-all and a snob, but he’s also a philanthropist so he does have some redeeming qualities. Through the development of his story, he learns humility and becomes a bit of a philosopher.

Nickname(s): None

Love Interest: Lin (spoiled rich girl from his opening scene)

Age: 19

Modern day location of his tribe: Tel Aviv, Israel

Best friend/ worst enemy: Friends with Eliasaph (Elias), the Prince of Gad but only because Elias is Ahiezer’s mentor, and they share similar political and social views. He doesn’t really have any enemies, per se.
​
What’s his story? Ahiezer starts the story with the opinion that wealth is the root of all evil. He’s envious, bitter, jealous, and idealistic. But he wants to help the poor, so we’re rooting for him. He learns that wealth doesn't make a person evil, and we shouldn't be envious of anyone.

Nickname(s): Elias

Love Interest: Farah (Girl he sat with at dinner briefly until he found out she was Daniella’s best friend)

Modern day location of his tribe: Amman, Jordan

Best friend/ worst enemy: College roommates with Elizur (Zurri), Prince of Reuben (even though they don’t really get along and have nothing in common). Also mentors Ahiezer, Prince of Dan. Hates pretty much everyone else.
​
What’s his story? Elias is cynical and thinks he needs to give every ounce of his time and energy to helping the poor. He’s reluctantly rich, snobby, idealistic, and has a chip on his shoulder. He needs to learn the concept of teaching people how to fish rather than giving them one meal at a soup kitchen. He thinks he doesn't need a ruler, but that government should pay for everything. He contradicts himself and hates rich people. Above all, he wants to serve God. Weird combination, I know.
