Judah's Scepter and the Sacred Stone

Princess Teia, daughter of Judah’s last king, begins a harrowing journey after she’s rescued by the prophet Jeremiah from the burning city of Jerusalem. They flee to Egypt, where amid Teia’s efforts to cope with devastating loss comes an unexpected awakening of her heart when she meets Eochaid, a foreign prince. The two young nobles fall in love, but are soon forced to part and follow their preordained destinies of ruling separate nations.


After Eochaid sails home to his ailing father, the heartbroken princess embarks on a perilous ocean voyage, where eluding pirates and surviving a raging tempest won’t be the greatest threats to her life. Instead, it’s the whisperings and seeds of doubt being sown by an invisible foe who seeks to destroy her soul as she struggles through the storms of life to hold on to her trust and belief in God.


Against the backdrop of daring escapes on land and sea, raging sword battles, and deadly sorcerers, an emotional journey ensues across multiple continents for both Teia and Eochaid. Even though time and distance have kept them apart, they’ve never ceased to love each other, all the while unaware that God’s steady hand guides their paths as part of his plan to restore Judah’s everlasting throne—as symbolized by the sacred stone that Israel’s patriarch Jacob once used as a pillow in the wilderness.
