With her people dying of thirst, and the Assyrians stationed outside Bethulia’s gates, Judith leaves the safety of the city and infiltrates the enemy camp to find and kill the sinister Holofernes. But the scheming lieutenant has his own plans for dealing with her and the Israelites – even if it means disobeying the Assyrian king. Only five days remain before Bethulia surrenders and Israel falls – within that time Judith must find the strength to overcome her past if she is to ever outwit Holofernes. A battle of wills is about to take place that will shape Israel’s future forever.
The Assyrians are headed to conquer the Temple in Jerusalem, does Judith have the faith and courage to defend it with her life?
In this second and final book in the series, Judith must outwit Holofernes and complete her mission before it's too late.
