Many are Called
Volume I
by Gabrielle Gniewek
Illustrated by Sean Lam
Many are Called is the first in a
series of new graphic novels exploring the parables of Christ within a
futuristic alternate reality.
The
palace is astir, preparing for the long-awaited wedding of its beloved
Prince, who leaves the safety of the kingdom to fetch his
bride, now missing in exile for 7 years. But Lord Richter is also
scouring the countryside for the missing princess, turning the noblemen
of the
land against their King in the process. With old and new enemies before
him, and disorder among his own ranks behind him, the Prince must
overcome all obstacles to find his betrothed and
bring her safely back home. Though whether the bride wants to return to
the very place she fled from is an entirely different story. A past
will be revealed, a score will be settled, and a future will be formed,
all before the night is over.

Victory on the Walls
A Story of Nehemiah
by Frieda Clark Hyman
Young
Thirteen-year-old Bani, though born in Jerusalem, has lived from
infancy with his uncle in beautiful Susa, the city of the Persian King
Artaxerxes. Now, his Uncle Nehemiah wants to leave his position of high
honor as Cupbearer to the King to return to Jerusalem, a city in ruins
and beset by every kind of trouble. Nehemiah's request of the king,
permission to return to help his own people, could easily be
misconstrued as treasonous scheming. Seen through the eyes of Bani,
this novel dramatizes a turning-point of history, in 445 BC,
when--through confrontation and daring risks--Judaism was
re-established in the Promised Land, and purified for her unfolding
mission.

Hezekiah seeking help for Judea from the Egyptians against the
Assyrians. Far from home, near Jerusalem, and found out in his disguise
as a medical assistant, Taharka encounters two kings in conflict. One
is the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance; the other is
Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. Taharka must choose with whom
to live or die.

Shadow Hawk
by Andre Norton
Rahotep
is more than a simple captain of the Nubian Desert Scouts—he is heir to
the Nome of the Striking Hawk, which, with all of Egypt, has been under
the harsh rule of the Hyksos. Accused of a crime he didn't commit and
driven out of Nubia by the ascension of his scheming half-brother to
the throne of Viceroy, Rahotep flees north to Thebes, accompanied only
by a loyal band of Nubian archers. Here he takes refuge in the court of
the Pharaoh Sekenenre III, who is determined to free Egypt. Treachery,
this time at the hands of murderous and power-hunger priests, throws
Rahotep into a cell, deep beneath the Temple of Anubis. He must escape,
not only to prove his innocence, but also to join in a mission and a
battle upon which hangs the freedom of Egypt from the rule of the
invaders.
