The Scarlet Cord

By Gideon Mercer

In the doomed city of Jericho, Rahab has survived by reading men, secrets, and fear better than anyone around her. From her house built into the wall, she watches a proud city begin to tremble as rumors spread of a people crossing the wilderness under the power of a God no king can control.

Then two strangers enter her house.

They are not merchants. They are not drifters. And before the night is over, Rahab must choose between the city that made her and the truth she can no longer ignore.

As Jericho tightens its gates, sharpens its watch, and hunts the men hidden under her roof, Rahab is forced into a bargain that could cost her everything. With soldiers at her door, suspicion rising in every lane, and judgment drawing nearer with every passing day, she stakes her future on a scarlet cord-and on a God she barely knows, but fears enough to trust.

The Scarlet Cord is a gripping biblical historical novel of espionage, siege, divided loyalties, and redemption. Perfect for readers who love ancient-world suspense, strong female protagonists, and emotionally rich stories where faith is tested in the fire of survival.
