Judas Iscariot: The Man Before the Betrayal

Before the silver. Before the kiss. Before his name became another word for betrayal.

Long before that night in the garden, Judas of Kerioth was a son desperate for his father's trust, a trader hungry to prove his worth, and a man who mistook success for salvation.

In Kerioth, his mother's fierce belief becomes the inheritance he clings to. His father's steady caution becomes the judgment he cannot bear. When a journey to Jerusalem opens the future he has always wanted, Judas sees his chance to become someone who matters.

But every road costs more than he expects.

Love comes. Grief follows. And the distance between the man he wants to be and the choices he makes begins to grow.

Then he meets Jesus of Nazareth.

For a man who has spent his life trying to prove himself, what would it mean to be chosen?

From the author of The Arimathea Chronicles, Judas Iscariot is a biblical fiction novel of ambition, love and the hunger to be enough: the story of a man remembered for a single act, and the life that came before it.
