Jayden’s courage will be put to the test as she fights for her survival and the one she loves.
Jayden thought she had lost everything. After months of traveling in the desert, she discovers her beloved Kadesh is injured but still alive. However, the two must flee immediately, for the vengeful and jealous Horeb is on their trail, desperate to take Jayden back to be his bride.
The trek to the southern lands comes with heartache and danger, and as Jayden and Kadesh draw closer to their destination, she realizes that even he has been keeping secrets from her… ones that will change everything.

A great continuation of the Forbidden story! This is such a different time period to read about – ancient Mesopotamia – it makes me glad I’m not trudging across a desert on a camel! It’s interesting read about the priests of Baal and the temple goddesses and worshiping idols — things you read about in the Bible but this story puts them into a context that makes it easier to see how the people were affected by it.
The biggest thing that bothered me I think was how quickly Kadesh went from hiding in a cave to being the fearless and confident leader of the tribe. And another cliffhanger ending!
