Star Seekers

When a powerful king searches for a newborn child, a courageous girl risks everything to save his life.

In Bethlehem, 13-year-old Marissa's life centers on helping her family run the Bethlehem Inn until a mysterious child is born and rumors spread of a promised Messiah. As travelers from a distant land arrive and her brother is drawn into King Herod's service, Marissa finds herself caught in a growing tide of danger, prophecy, and secrets. Guided by faith, family, and the light of a new star, she discovers that even the smallest life is worth defending.

A captivating story of the first Christmas, Star Seekers continues the story of Marissa and Caleb from Book One: The Innkeeper's Daughter, which explores the world of ancient Bethlehem and Judea, which was ruled by King Herod and the Roman Empire.

Star Seekers is ideal for intermediate readers, middle schoolers, and fans of historical fiction. A gripping biblical historical fiction adventure, It Started On Christmas Book Two: Star Seekers brings back the wonder of the first Christmas.

It includes a section about ancient history and culture, discussion questions for individual study and groups, and a preview of Book Three: The Mask of Marissa.
