Riassunto

What if securing your family's legacy means risking everything—including your life?
In this captivating biblical fiction, award-winning debut novel, discover the remarkable story of Nitzevet—called Bet by those closest to her—the forgotten woman behind Israel's most famous king. Set in ancient Bethlehem in about 1000 BC, Legacy unveils the dramatic events that led to the birth of King David and the incredible sacrifice his mother made to protect him.

A Story of Faith, Deception, and Divine Purpose
When young Bet marries the aging Jesse, her future seems secure. But tragedy strikes when she delivers a stillborn son, awakening Jesse's fear over his family's legitimacy. Since his grandmother Ruth was a Moabitess, Jesse questions whether God's wrath rests upon his house.

Enter Eliab—Jesse's eldest son and Bet’s greatest adversary. Consumed by jealousy and thwarted desire, Eliab manipulates his father's doubts, setting in motion a chain of events that threatens everything Bet holds dear.

When Jesse demands proof of God's favor through another wife, Bet must make an impossible choice:

• Risk her marriage, her reputation, and her very life
