Reviews

"The Legend of Sheba is an enthralling, impeccably-researched novel full of wisdom that will appeal to both religious and secular audiences. The vivid beauty of Lee's prose is unsurpassed. I felt as though Sheba herself was speaking to me, and her struggles and triumphs were my own."--Rebecca Kanner, author of Sinners and the Sea "Library Journal, starred review and Best Book Pick 2014"
"The Legend of Sheba is no fairy tale romance of a woman swooning for a king. Tosca Lee has once again proven to be a fearless, dare I say, reckless storyteller as she gives us an unbridled retelling of a queen strong in wisdom and heart. It will leave you reflecting far beyond the turn of the last page."--Pam Hogeweide, author of Unladylike: Resisting the Injustice of Inequality in the Church "Library Journal, starred review and Best Book Pick 2014"
"As a meticulous researcher Lee consistently strives to make her stories not just believable but eye-popping with realism. The Legend of Sheba leaves no novel stone unturned--action, intrigue, romance, and even a mystical make this a novel that must be read in a single setting. The verbal tapestry of a minor biblical narrative will have readers examining the story of Sheba and Solomon in a completely new light."--Dr. Joe Cathey, Professor of Old Testament at Dallas Baptist University "Library Journal, starred review and Best Book Pick 2014"
"I didn't think I could admire a novel more than I admired Iscariot, but Tosca Lee has outdone herself with The Legend of Sheba. As luscious as the ancient Arabian kingdom and as fascinating as the queen who ruled it, Sheba captivates with beauty, depth, intelligence, and cunning storytelling skill."--Erin Healy, bestselling author of Motherless and Stranger Things "Library Journal, starred review and Best Book Pick 2014"
