Author Summary: The daughter of a pagan high priest, Sofea finds solace from her troubles in the freedom of the ocean. But when marauders attack her village on the island of Sicily, she and her cousin are taken across the sea to the shores of Canaan.

Eitan has lived in Kedesh, a City of Refuge, for the last eleven years, haunted by a tragedy in his childhood and chafing at the boundaries placed on him. He is immediately captivated by Sofea, but revealing his most guarded secret could mean drawing her into the danger of his past.

As threats from outside the walls loom and traitors are uncovered within, Sofea and Eitan are plunged into the midst of a murder plot. Will they break free from the shackles of the past in time to uncover the betrayal and save their lives and the lives of those they love?

My Review: The story follows Eitan, who has lived in Kedesh for the past 11 years, and Sofea, who sought shelter in Kedesh after being taken from her home in Sicily. While they do not speak the same language they learn to communicate. Secrets are revealed and fences are mended. If you have never read a Connilyn Cossette book, you need too! This is my favorite story so far! From page one, I was hooked. So many emotions from me and the characters. There was also an I did no see that coming, very rare for me as I can usually call it before it happens.
