Synopsis[]
Approximately 1200 BC in the Hebrew camp in Sitim, in the Moab desert. After Moises' death, Josué is the new leader of the Hebrews. He is an experienced warrior, endowed with courage, determination, and powerful faith. But it is no easy task to lead a group of people to their new destination. With his closest and trusted allies, the priest Eleazar and the leader of the tribe of Judas, Calebe, Josué must fulfill a difficult mission ordained by God: to command the twelve tribes of Israel in the conquest of Canaan, the Promised Land.
It is a great challenge because, in order to reach Canaan, it is necessary to first cross of all the Jordan River which is as flowing as ever in the flood season. Then the Hebrews will have to fight against the Canaanites who rule that land, pagan, idolatrous and extremely violent people. Throughout of it all, they will face dangerous, vengeful, exotic kings, queens, nobles, and generals like King Marek, Queen Kalesi, and Ticar commander of Jericho; King Durgal and his brother, Governor Kamir, of the kingdom of Ai; among other menacing villains.
Parallel to his responsibilities as Israel's leader, Josué lives an exciting love story with beautiful Aruna, a brave and determined girl, with a sword, able to fight alongside the male soldiers when necessary. The problem is that Aruna's sister, the genious and quarrelsome Samara is also in love with Josué. Having her treacherous mother Leia as an accomplice, Samara will do anything to separate the central couple.
