Covenant House, Book 2

De: Connilyn Cossette

Narrado por: Jonathan Todd Ross, Rachel Botchan

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.

My new favorite author

I got my first Connilyn Cossette book on an audible sale. I didn’t realize it was the second book in the cities of refuge series. I was hooked - finished that series and then the out of Egypt series. Then I started this one. I am sad there were only two books and I finished them too quickly 😭
I am looking forward to more books from her. This one was a favorite. Oh, Lukio….

Wonderful and unforgettable

This was indeed an incredible book. The historical and biblical setting was amazingly well done and based on many true situations (and even characters) found in Scripture. The individual characters literally came to life on the page, both good and bad. The history and depth of the relationship between Shoshana and Lukio was beautiful and yet at times heart rending. It was difficult to know how many of the situations and relationships within the story would end… Some heartbreaking and others beautiful. I loved to see the obvious hand of God at numerous times throughout the story, especially as Lukio comes to believe. I highly highly recommend this book!

Engaging story!!

All my Goodreads friends gave this 5⭐️ and I totally see why! I loved the storyline and liked the narration. These narrators do a lot of biblical fiction so sometimes it feels like the same story, but this unique plot was so different that I was definitely immersed and engaged!!

Between the Wild Branches

One of my favorite authors in this genre. Enjoying the series and hoping there is more to come. Perfect narrator for this book.

Sad, disturbing, accurate

Oh my, this is fiction, yet it could so easily be reality. All the elements of humanity are are clearly shown in this story of love, mercy, grace, and redemption.
