The year is the 1st century BC and Judea has become a Roman province. But even Rome’s position is not unshakeable – General Antipater takes advantage of Julius Caesar’s weakened position and seizes the opportunity to win independence for his nation. Upon his return to Jerusalem, however, he faces a clash with Jewish nationalists and his own son, Herod. Who will emerge victorious from the bloody civil wars? Will Herod win the throne and the princess he has fallen in love with? And amidst all the cruelty, is there any room at all for forgiveness, friendship, and love?
