Publisher Description
Captured by the Philistines as a young boy, Zevi has grown into a formidable warrior. As a captain in King Saul's army, he is assigned a crucial mission: recruit soldiers, gather tribute for the royal coffers, and find talented artisans for the king's court. But when he is sent to Maresha, the town he was forced to leave as a child, he is dismayed when the elder council rejects King Saul and his campaign, leaving the town vulnerable to retribution and the threat of outside enemies.
Yochana, a widow and skilled woman of business, is captivated by a stranger who enters her perfume shop. Upon discovering he is not only a soldier but a captain responsible for enlisting young men to die in battle, fury and pain from her past loss resurfaces. But when Zevi's actions in Maresha entangle Yochana in his radical scheme, they'll be forced to face present dangers while confronting scars of the past.

Cossette (Voice of the Ancient) resumes the King's Men series with an epic tale of adventure and romance in ancient Israel. Zevi, a captain in King Saul's army, travels to Maresha to recruit men to fight the Philistines and skilled artisans to serve in Saul's court. There he meets the lovely Yochana, whose husband died fighting in Saul's army two years earlier. Zevi's impressed by her skill as a healer and perfumer and wants to bring her to Gibeah to serve Saul, but Yochana disdains the king who led her husband to his death. Not one to take no for an answer, Zevi kidnaps her and they embark on the perilous trek to Gibeah. Along the way, Yochana learns there is more to Zevi than meets the eye, including his troubled childhood in Maresha.
