Her name was Elisha, and she was born eight centuries before the time of Christ. This is her story, full of passion, intrigue and adventure, brought to vivid life by a new star of historical fiction: Robert Raymond. He tells the dramatic story of Elisha's failed coup against her brother, the king of Tyre, and her escape to Cyprus with her supporters and a good portion of the royal treasury. From there she launches her greatest and bloodiest endeavour: the foundation of the Queen of Citites which changes the course of civilisation and establishes Elisha as one of the dominant forces on the continent.
