Daughter of the Dust
Daughter of the Dust
A Novel by A.W. Crain
"My people have committed two sins: they have forsaken Me, the spring of living water-and dug their own cisterns... broken cisterns that cannot hold water." -Jeremiah 2:13
In the smoldering shadow of Jerusalem's fall, Keziah is a woman unraveling.
Once a devoted wife and mother, her world collapses when famine claims her only son and Roman blades steal her husband. With her faith shattered and her body hollowed by grief, Keziah flees the ruins of a dying city-only to encounter something far older than empire or creed: a voice that has whispered to women for generations.
Lilith.
Guided by visions and drawn to a mysterious astrologer named Ashmedai, Keziah finds refuge in the Babylonian wilderness. There, beneath starlit skies and carved chambers of ancient power, she learns to scry, to speak with spirits, to read the fate etched in palms and constellations. But the deeper her initiation into the forbidden mysteries, the louder another voice begins to call-one she thought had gone silent forever.
As Keziah teeters on the edge of divine purpose and dangerous rebellion, she must choose: the power that heals or the power that consumes. The past that buried her, or the future she was always meant to birth.
A sweeping spiritual epic woven with grief, mythology, feminine power, and reclamation, Daughter of the Dust is a haunting exploration of what happens when a silenced woman dares to speak-and the heavens answer back.
