The Oath of Ash

Book One of The Thirteenth Stone

70 CE. A young Temple scribe named Yonatan ben Elyakim escapes the burning of the Second Temple carrying the nofech — the stone of Judah from the High Priest's breastplate — and swears an oath over it in the last minute before Jerusalem ends. A Roman centurion swears a second oath across the same stone. Yonatan flees east, settles in Nehardea, and slowly, over two centuries and three empires, discovers that his oath has bound him to a life he does not know how to live.
