Cossette Consistently Brings the Old Testament to Life in an Engrossing, Fresh New Way
Alanah, a Canaanite, is no stranger to fighting and survival. When her family is killed in battle with the Hebrews, she disguises herself and sneaks onto the battlefield to avenge her family. The one thing she never counted on was surviving.
Tobiah, a Hebrew warrior, is shocked to find an unconscious, wounded woman among the Canaanite casualties. Compelled to bring her to a Hebrew healer back at their camp, he is soon confronted with a truth he can’t ignore: the only way to protect this enemy is to marry her.
Can Alanah’s fierce heart and strength withstand the ensuing threats to her life and all she’s come to love?
My Review:
I enjoy well written and deep biblical fiction and this book fits the bill. It was not a “all is happy” type of story so much as more historically accurate, with some of the gore of the culture. It really teaches you what some of the teachings and cultures were like of the Canaanites as well as the Israelites.
I enjoyed the previous two books in the series, but I believe this one could stand alone if you wanted it to. There are some other characters from previous books mentioned, but still it could stand alone.
If you enjoy good biblical fiction that will make you pull out the bible and your history books to compare, pick up this one!
This book is available for purchase from several retailers. “Wings of the Wind”
I totally agree! This was, perhaps, my favorite in the series. It has given me a love for biblical fiction again.
