Book Description
Recently widowed, Rivkah refuses to submit to the Torah law compelling her to marry her husband's brother and instead flees Kedesh, hoping to use her talents as a scribe to support herself. Without the protections of her father, Kedesh's head priest, and the safety of the city of refuge, Rivkah soon discovers that the cost of recklessness is her own freedom.

Malakhi has secretly loved Rivkah for years, but he never imagined his older brother's death would mean wedding her himself. After her disappearance, he throws himself into the ongoing fight against the Canaanites instead of dwelling on all he has lost. But with impending war looming over Israel, Rivkah's father comes to Malakhi with an impossible request.

As the enemies that Rivkah and Malakhi face from without and within Israel grow more threatening each day, is it too late for the restoration their wounded souls seek?
 
 
My Review
I have read all of the other books in this series, so I had a feeling this new book was going to be a good one. But even I was surprised with the twists and turns in this story, and I finished reading it way faster than I thought possible!  A lot of the time when I am reading a good book it can be really hard to put it down, but this time I almost had to pry the book from my own hands. I just had to see what would happen next! 
 
Although I will say this book had more sad events/bad decisions than I would have liked. But the story line handled them well, so the book was still very enjoyable. Overall I would say this is a must read for fans of the "Cities of Refuge Series"!
 
 
   I received this book free through NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
