Abstract

Part of a biblical trilogy devoted to Mary of Magdalene, Barabbas (“a man who lived that Christ might die”), and Salome, respectively. Published under the pseudonym, Deborah Mann, one of the many used by the prolific author during her career.

"Across the courts of Herod Antipas, ruler of Ancient Judea, danced the vibrant figure of the young princess... Salome. She possessed a beauty both vital and sensuous, yet was unaware of the desire she provoked in the hearts of men - a desire that unleashed hatred and love, sacrifice and murder. No man could withstand the lust she aroused - young and old succumbed to the temptation of her body - the magic of her dancing. And around the great Herod himself she weaved a spell - the spell of the Song of... Salome."--Publisher description.
