For seven years, since her treaty marriage at a young age, the Babylonian princess Tiamat has lived the opulent, and yet oppressive, life of the palace.

And for seven years, her father, the mad king Nebuchadnezzar, has lived as a beast, hidden away to prowl his luxurious Hanging Gardens.

But when Tia’s husband dies, the powerful mage Shadir plots to expose the family’s secret and set his own man on the throne. And a nobleman’s macabre death suggests a dark force is at work in the palace.

In a desperate attempt to save her kingdom, Tia turns to an unlikely ally: a captivating Jewish captive, her late husband’s brother. Though he denounces her beliefs in the gods, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to his strength and wisdom.

But the shadows of madness loom large, and Tia begins to question whether the curse that afflicts her father might also flow through her own veins.

Can she trust her heart and her growing feelings for the man who challenges everything she knows? Or will the secrets that haunt the palace ultimately consume them both?

In this richly woven tapestry of romance, intrigue, and ancient magic, the fate of a kingdom rests on the shoulders of a princess determined to forge her own destiny.

“The biblical story of Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar’s seven years as a madman, found in the Old Testament Book of Daniel, deepens and broadens thanks to veteran author Higley’s historical research and vivid imagination . . . Readers will find much to enjoy here: fine writing, suspense, mystery, faith, love, and a new look at an old story.” —Publishers Weekly

“Higley gives readers a dose of biblical history set in King Nebuchadnezzar’s palatial gardens and a character like no other in Tiamat, devoted daughter of a king gone mad. The author’s insights into a woman’s inner strength as she searches for the one true God will leave readers rejoicing.”—Romantic Times TOP PICK

“Her story will appeal not just to readers of historical fiction but also to those with an interest in biblical history.” —Booklist

“Mystical as the Seven Wonders, exotic as the Hanging Gardens. Higley has outdone herself with this exquisite story of intrigue, elegantly told and rich with all the flavors of ancient Babylon. Simply magnificent.” —Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author of Havah: The Story of Eve and the Books of Mortals series

“Garden of Madness is a beautifully told tale, lush with details and rich with fascinating history. Tracy Higley just keeps getting better and better!”  —Ginger Garrett, author of Desired: The Untold Story of Samson & Delilah

“Garden of Madness is a superb rendering of a dynasty and kingdom rich in notoriety, opulence, and arrogance. Higley’s characters are as complex and tiered as the fabled Hanging Gardens in which this story unfolds its brilliant plots and twists. Complex and heart-stirring characters make this story un-put-downable! To not love this story would be . . . well, madness!”  —Ronie Kendig, author of the Discarded Heroes series

“Even more riveting than the historical background is the mystery that Higley creates as the backdrop to her exploration of the ancient world . . . Readers will not be satisfied until they have discovered the truth along with Tiamat.”  —Shannon Rogers Flynt, PhD, Samford University

“Each of Tracy Higley’s historical novels is more powerful than its predecessor, and Garden of Madness continues the trend. I was drawn into the ancient Babylonian world from the very first page and held spellbound until the last, savoring every moment of Tia’s journey from despair to redemption. Whether you’ve read Higley’s previous works, or are just discovering her amazing stories, you must not miss this one!”  —Janelle Clare Schneider, author and spiritual director
