About this listen

From bestselling author Joan Wolf comes a sweeping retelling of Esther's story, where palace intrigue, forbidden love, and divine purpose collide. Perfect for fans of Francine Rivers and Angela Hunt, A Reluctant Queen brings the biblical tale of courage and romance to vivid life.

"Joan Wolf never fails to deliver the best!" --Nora Roberts

She was a humble girl faced with an impossible choice. He was a powerful king with a lonely heart.

Drawn together against all odds, Esther and Ahasuerus discover a love that not only defies expectation but changes the course of history. With danger at every turn, Esther must summon courage to embrace her destiny, protect her people, and follow the call of God--no matter the cost.

With its mix of romance, danger, and divine destiny, A Reluctant Queen is an inspired retelling perfect for book clubs and readers who love biblical fiction that stirs both the heart and spirit.
