"We don't choose our dreams, they choose us." In the heart of medieval Sicily, amid the shadows of war and Angevin oppression, a young orphan finds her destiny. Tziporah was taken in by the Cistercian nuns of Palermo and put to work as a convent orderly. Named after the wife of Moses, her name speaks to her Judeo-Sicilian heritage, a lineage of survival and resilience. She forms an unbreakable bond of sisterhood with another orphan, Aetna Vespiri, a young woman destined to lead a rebellion that would shake the very foundations of tyrannical French power in Sicily. But Tziporah is no mere bystander to history. Beneath her gentle heart and quick wit lies the deadly precision of a born archer. With bow in hand and vengeance in her sights, her arrows find their mark against Palermo’s corrupt Angevin officers during the Sicilian Vespers revolt, striking a blow against the brutal regime that plagues her homeland. A child of the streets, a sister in rebellion, a warrior in her own right...Tziporah's story is a testament to the power of the choices we make when history calls.
