I have followed the stories of this family throughout this series and love this latest installment!
Kedesh is a city of refuge in the Promised Land. This story takes place soon after the death of Joshua (who took over as leader when Moses died). Rivkah, daughter of the High Priest over Kedesh, has grown up with the children of Darek and Moriyah (the hero and heroine of the first book of the series). She married one of their sons but had been widowed. Her father insisted that she follow Jewish tradition and marry the next son Malakhi. Rivkah does not want to marry Malakhi and so she runs away with her cousin to hide from the marriage. Of course they run into trouble right away and by the time she realizes she made a mistake it’s too late. Malakhi, who had loved Rivkah for years, was devastated by the situation and threw himself into helping his father as a warrior. When he eventually finds out where Rivkah is he sets out to fetch her but she is in a situation that is not easy to get out of. The story has shades of the Prodigal son in the Bible and is a good story about forgiveness and grace.
I hope there will be another installment in this series.
I received a Kindle copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
