As Hothir watches King Solomon's glorious temple being constructed in Jerusalem, it seems that an equally golden future is assured. But the musician's hope is short-lived, as the nation slips into idolatry and decline, only to be followed by a catastrophic fracturing of the kingdom.

Ithamar knows only the harsh life of a slave, imposed upon him by his Egyptian overlords. Everything changes, however, when the uncle he has never met-Moses-returns to Egypt.

Using Old Testament stories and imagined scenes, Altars of Stone follows the lives of Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Joseph, through characters close to them. This is the first instalment of The Line of Shem trilogy, which aims to build up an overview of the main characters and themes of the Old Testament, and enrich readers of the Bible.

Using an imagined back-story for one of the characters recorded in the gospels, "Through Martha's Eyes" provides the reader with the cultural and historical background to understand more fully the story at the heart of human history.
