Summary: Though Israel has found relative peace, Moriyah has yet to find her
own. Attempting to avoid the scorn of
her community she's spent the last seven years hiding behind the veil she
wears. Underneath her covering, her face
is branded with the mark of the Canaanite Gods, a shameful reminder of her past
captivity in Jericho and an assurance that no man will ever want to marry her. When her father finds a widower who needs a
mother for his two sons, her hopes rise.
But when their introduction goes horribly wrong, Moriyah is forced to
flee for her life. Seeking safety at one
of the newly established Levitical cities of refuge, she is wildly unprepared
for the dangers she will face and the enemies - and unexpected allies - she
will encounter on her way.
My
Review: I am in love with this next series. If you didn't read the Out of Egypt (3 books) you'll be fine to still read this one. Cossette gives enough background to be able to follow along. I still recommend you go back and read the Out of Egypt because it is amazing!! Moriyah has covered her face with a veil for the last 7 years to hide the mark of the Canaanite gods that was burned into her face. The veil also represents the sheild she has put up to keep others away. Her father finds a widower to marry Moriyah. Moriyah agrees to the marriage to appease her father. A tragic accident forces Moriyah to seek refuge. On her travels she befriends allies and faces enemies. I cannot wait to read the next book!
