Book excerpt: Set in 1st Century Jerusalem, The Adulteress follows Keziah, a young Jewess, and Roman soldier Demetrius as they navigate Judean life during Jesus' time. Both filled with prejudices and incorrect notions of how life is supposed to be, they go on to create even more misguided philosophies together after an accidental meeting one day. Demetrius quickly develops an unhealthy attachment to Keziah, who is betrothed and then married to an older priest. And for her part, Keziah selfishly uses Demetrius as a distraction from her abusive husband. Yet their difficult situations and poor decisions ultimately lead them to a complicated discovery that can't help but forever change their worldview.
