Description
Guardians of the Flame - A historical fiction about the wars of the Maccabim
165 BCE.
In the once serene hillsides of Judea, now throbs the heartbeat of a burgeoning rebellion. The revolt, under the dynamic leadership of Yehuda HaMaccabee, is taking shape. Despite overwhelming odds, a group of men rally to resist the merciless grip of Antiochus’ ruthless henchmen. The stakes are high: the preservation of Jewish law, the sanctity of their land, and the very lives of every Jew in Judea—including their own.
Amidst this turbulent backdrop arrives a nameless young man with a shadowy past. When he stops to heal a stranger, his fate becomes intertwined with the uprising. Reluctantly drawn into the fray, he must navigate the external darkness of war and the internal shadows of his history, all while grappling with a future where his survival is far from certain. Set against the rugged terrains of ancient Judea, this gripping historical fiction novel brings to life the legendary confrontations between the illustrious Maccabim and the Greek forces of Antiochus. It’s a tale of faith, courage, and the relentless quest for freedom.
"The book is very well written, with depth of character, and deeply human situations. I think that it will be a worthwhile read for many people. I see it as a good read for giving over the realia of that period of time, and for its kosher literary value."
- Rabbi Aharon Lopiansky
