The Remnant

The 8th Century B.C. is a tumultuous period of history dominated by the great Empire of Assyria. When Assyria invades Israel, Japhlet, a leader of a small troop, and Gevirah, an Assyrian woman fleeing from the harem of Assyrian King Shalmaneser, find love in this raging cauldron of uncertainty. To save his own life, Israeli King Hoshea ultimately deserts his army in a futile attempt to flee to Egypt. Japhlet, his men and Gevirah remain trapped inside the besieged City of Samaria, facing death or the horrors of slavery. Somehow, they must escape from the city and reach Judah, their only haven. Standing in their way, eager to annihilate them, is the elite of the Assyrian Army!
