✦ Synopsis

Tamara is trapped. Her father betrothed her to a man she does not like, let alone love. And she can't forget the brazen shepherd who dared to look in her eyes. Natan fell in love with Tamara the first moment he saw her. But the daughter of the high priest cannot marry a shepherd. When Natan is arrested for practicing their religion, forbidden by the new king, he escapes and asks Tamara to hide him. After stealing a night with him, she helps him escape to join the brewing rebellion fighting for their freedom to worship. Tamara leaves a candle in her window to light his way home and sneaks honey cookies to him to sweeten his burden, her own small rebellion to her arranged marriage. Only a miracle can save the rag-tag rebels from the conquering army and change a culture to allow Natan and Tamara to be together.
