Overview

When Judas falls in love with Jesus, it's a disaster waiting to happen... Judas is a young Jewish man in Roman-occupied Ancient Israel who harbors a dark secret: he has a huge crush on a local wizard who is rapidly gaining fame and notoriety... a wizard named Jesus Christ. When Judas finally gets the chance to meet Jesus, he is blown away by Jesus's magical powers but also by his wit, charm, and charisma. Judas jumps at the chance to join up as a new recruit among Jesus's disciples. Jesus teaches magic to Judas, and a warm, happy romance develops between them, one in which Judas blossoms as both a young wizard and as a young man and achieves a coming of age-until Jesus's two other lovers, a woman ex-prostitute named Mary Magdalene who happens to be Jesus's wife, and a boy named Lazarus, threaten to throw Judas's romance with Jesus into the fire, and the flames of envy and resentment begin to swirl in Judas's heart. Will love win, or will the darkness of bitterness and anger consume Judas's heart and threaten not only his love for Jesus, but his loyalty to Jesus's strange new religion, which is named Christianity? In this historical fantasy romance, one of the greatest and most famous villains in history finally gets to tell his side of the story. Yes, this novel is a fantasy romance between Jesus and Judas, and, yes, it's that Jesus, the one and only, and Judas, yes, the Judas you might have heard of, where Jesus Christ is a wizard (well, you might think of him as a dual-class wizard/cleric) and Judas is his student, his disciple and his apostle, and his lover. But, if you pick up this novel and read it, you will see that this time, the story doesn't play out the way you expect it to.

Author Information

Russell Hasan was born the son of a white Jewish mother and a dark-skinned Muslim father-and that isn't the strangest thing about him. His father had ties to the mafia-nope, not the weirdest thing about him. He thought he was a gay man for many years before realizing he is agender asexual-relatively normal compared to what truly makes him strange. Do you want to know what the weirdest, strangest thing about Russell is? He's a WRITER. Yes, that's right. He writes. Why? How? Why would he want to do that to himself? How could he allow this to happen to himself? He is still trying to figure that one out. Therapy can cure lots of things and alcohol and drugs can cure other things, but the only cure for being a writer is to write, so he writes. He's not into BDSM, yet for some reason he has chosen to punish himself by having a passion for writing and a need to write. Despite having made the huge mistake of choosing to be a writer, his books have sold over 10,000 copies, so perhaps it was not the worst mistake he ever made after all. He does not have one particular bestseller but has instead spread those 10,000 sales across many books he wrote. His magical journey of self-torture begins when he has the idea for a new book, and then continues when he wakes up at 6am to write from 6am to 8am before work every day (he has a day job-he's not insane! His day job is being a lawyer, the most boring, evil job in the world, by the way), and, after many cups of Starbucks matcha tea and Coca Cola (never Pepsi-yuck!) he somehow puts words onto a page. He has written 30 books, both nonfiction and fiction, but, as something of a twist on the traditional successful indie author model, he is known more for his indie nonfiction, not his fiction. But he does write fiction. Some of his fiction is good too, probably, he hopes.
