Publisher Description
Ten years ago Lukio fled Kiryat-Yearim, where he'd been adopted by the Levite family who guarded the Ark of the Covenant. Feeling betrayed by everyone, he returned to his birthplace in Philistia to become a famous fighter. Now the champion of Ashdod, Lukio has achieved every goal with the help of his ruthless cousin. But just as he is set to claim the biggest prize of all, the daughter of the king, his past collides with his present in the form of Shoshana.
After a heartbreaking end to her secret friendship with Lukio, Shoshana thought to never see the boy with the dual-colored eyes and the troubled soul again. But when she is captured in a Philistine raid and enslaved
in Ashdod, she is surprised to find that the brutal fighter known as Demon-Eyes is Lukio himself.
With explosive secrets and unbreakable vows standing between them, finding a way to freedom for both may cost them everything.

Stunning
This follow-up novel to ‘To Dwell among Cedars’ is an absolute MUST-READ! The emotions run deep and the lessons run even deeper for this incredible story about a man who must come to terms with the hurt caused by the perceived rejection of those who claimed to love him and the hurt that he has caused them in return.
I cannot begin to explain how deeply I was entrenched in this story and how much I truly loved it. Ms. Cossette never ceases to amaze me with the versatility she employs in making each and every one of her stories completely unique in both character and plot from one another! This author certainly knows how to keep things fresh and yet just as exhilarating and with equivalent depth from one work to the next.
I love how authentic the settings of Author Connilyn Cossette’s novels are. They really bring a vitality and vibrancy to an otherwise sometimes difficult to comprehend life in ancient history. It is something I’ve come to count on (and never been disappointed by) in her novels. And I love the big, cozy, warm families that the author never fails to incorporate into her books!
Captivating Beyond Words
This book kept me on the edge of my seat! The story that started in To Dwell Among Cedars (the first book in the series) comes to life in a completely captivating way and just brings everything to a breathtaking conclusion. I have loved every part of this journey with Lukio, Shosana, and Eliora. I highly recommend The Covenant House Series! Connilyn, you are truly an inspired author! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Lukio’s Story
Connilyn Cossette has done it again! I have so enjoyed Lukio’s story and of course Shoshana.
This is the second book in the Covenant House Series and you could read it first but I would suggest reading To Dwell Among Cedars first. I felt sorry for Lukio even in the first book and was so glad that this book is about him. Oh the joys of reading the sequel of a book about a character you already have met. So much happens that it’s hard to quit reading and go do life. If I just had five hours straight to read I would be a happy camper!
A book just don’t come any better when you have a wonderful plot, romance and redemption. It’s just an inspirational journey to read a story like this in Biblical times. Please don’t miss reading this series if you like Biblical fiction even a little bit. Personally I think Mrs. Cossette will win you over. I know I want to read every one of her books and I have read several already.
I received a NetGalley copy and a paperback from the publisher but was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
