When 18-year-old Daniel is abducted by Sicarii
assassins and taken to their walled fortress of Masada, he's forced to let go
of the Jewish Law he's learned from his parents and adopt his kidnappers' code
of violence and thievery to stay alive.
Wracked with guilt but determined to survive, Daniel
becomes part of the Sicarii culture, even marrying one of their soldier's
sisters. Between violent raids against neighboring settlements to prevent
starvation and other challenges to his beliefs, Daniel is faced with choice
after choice that tests his character, strength, and resolve and pushes him to
discover the kind of man he wants to be.
Set against the backdrop of the last confrontation
between the Jews and Romans during the Second Temple period, author Shimon
Avish weaves together history and his real-life experiences in the army and as
a kibbutznik, bringing to life a painful chapter in Jewish history through the
eyes of young Daniel.
