The Other One

Nuriel was created in a laboratory on the planet Ba'al Hamon. All Nuriel knows about the world she has learned from Thirteen, the diligent lab assistant. But she knows he's concealing things from her, about what lies beyond the walls, about what lies in his heart. Thirteen knows that if she discovers the truth-she'll hate him forever. On the night he decides to reveal everything, the lab is breached by assassins from a local aristocratic family. Nuriel barely survives and is immediately flown out of the lab to her new home: the palace of the king. She receives magnificent riches, high status and love, but they cannot blur the fact that something is wrong. Why was she brought here? Why is everyone hiding details about the death of the queen? Nuriel struggles to solve the mystery that shrouds her identity, and soon realizes that if she doesn't act, a fate similar to that of the late queen might await her. The Other One is Judith Kagan's first book. It's a novel inspired by the biblical Song of Songs. The ancient riddles merge with the futuristic reality, and together create a unique and gripping plot, full of its own secrets, mysteries and love. "The concept and writing skill are superb." -Award explanation, NaNoWriMo Israel writing contest, 2014
