Publisher Description
"A stunning coming-of-age tale."--MESU ANDREWS, Christy Award-winning author of Isaiah's Daughter
As the eldest son of a Levite and a Philistine, Avidan is torn between his duty to his family legacy and the desire for something more. After an enemy attack strikes close to home, he takes the opportunity to fight with his cousins for the newly crowned King Saul. But when one of the cousins goes missing during the battle, Avidan refuses to leave him behind.
Keziah is the daughter of one of the most powerful clan chiefs in the territory of Manasseh. On the brink of a forced marriage to a loathsome man decades older than her, she has no choice but to run, hoping to find sanctuary with her mother's family.
United during their journeys and battling to survive the dangers that surround them, Avidan and Keziah make a pact to travel together. As challenges pile up, they must not only rely on each other to stay alive but also learn to trust the true and eternal King of Israel to guide their every step.
Customer Reviews
Enthralling!
Love, love, loved! Ms. Cossette continues to astound with her novels, and Voice of the Ancient is no exception!
I mourned and urged on Keziah’s escape from a lonely and abusive situation. I cheered and ached for Avidan’s brotherhood with his cousins. I was on the edge of my seat, halting halfway between horror and hope with every turn of the page! Every time something felt so far from resolution, it was really oh-so-close. And each time it seemed the answers would be right around the corner, the unexpected would shove it almost beyond hope of reach!
I could NOT put this book down and eagerly soaked in every lingering moment of it. I will be awaiting the next books in The King’s Men series enthusiastically!
