Though born the second son of King Ahaz, Hezekiah
is not protected from his father's perverted attempts
to gain the favor of the idol Molech. Terrified and
powerless at the foot of Molech's altar, Hezekiah
encounters for the first time the one true God of
his royal ancestry, Yahweh. But his journey to the
Holy One is riddled by influence from an assortment
of men: Zechariah, a grandfather of noble standing
who has fallen into drunkenness; Uriah, the High
Priest whose lust for power forces him to gamble
the faith he proclaims; and Shebna, the Egyptian
intellectual who guides Hezekiah's instruction. For
the two women who love Hezekiah, the meaning of love
and its sacrificial essence--will direct the course
of their lives and help shape the young prince's future.
