I loved this book! I
had previously read A Light on the Hill (Cities of Refuge Book #1) so this was a
continuation of that story. Sofea and
her cousin are abducted from their island after all their family and village were
murdered by pirates. They escaped and were left on the beach in Tyre. There
Daryk and his soldiers from Kadesh find them and take them back to Daryk's wife
Moriyah in Kadesh. These were the people
from book 1. The oldest son, Eitan, is attracted to Sofea but first Sofea needs
to learn Hebrew and get accustomed to the new culture and the new God. Conflict from the story in book 1 continues
in this book and some of it is resolved. I love learning the Jewish culture of this
time (Joshua is still alive and some of the High Priests still remember coming
into the Promised Land as small children).
I read this book rather quickly because the characters were
so real I needed to help them find their happy place. I am now anxious for the next book in the
series to come out. This is only the 2nd
book I have read by this author but I
assure you I will choose more of her books in future. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves
historical fiction of biblical times.
Bethany House provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for
posting my opinion in a review.
