Anna the Prophetess. The Eternal Ocean, #2

Jerusalem. The first century. A woman who has been waiting for eighty-four years.>> Anna, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, has spent most of her long life in the women's court of the Temple - reading, praying, fasting, holding faith through decades when nothing seemed to happen. She is of one of the ten "lost" tribes, the ones the world declared absorbed into exile seven centuries earlier.
Her people know better. They were never lost. They carried something in their blood the world had no name for: a way of knowing that ran deeper than teaching, a recognition that arrived before understanding. On one particular morning, forty days after a birth in Bethlehem, a young couple enters the court with their infant son. And Anna, who has been reading the words her whole life, recognises the fulfillment when it stands in front of her.>> *Anna the Prophetess* tells the story that Luke's Gospel gives us in four verses - and imagines everything those four verses don't say.
It is a novel about waiting as a form of wisdom. About the faith that is not the absence of doubt but the refusal to give up. About the words we carry until they read us. The Eternal Ocean Series, Book Two. Can be read as a standalone.
