About

A never before published novel from beloved author Zora Neale Hurston, revealing the historical Herod the Great—not the villain the Bible makes him out to be but a religious and philosophical man who lived a life of valor and vision.

'The Life of Herod the Great—like Hurston herself—is a masterpiece, a miracle, and a marvel. In other words, treasure for the whole world.' — Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, Silver Sparrow, and Leaving Atlanta
