Strong-willed Tirzah wants to join her people in driving the enemy from the land of Israel and undergoes training for a secret mission inside the stronghold of Shechem.

But soon after she has infiltrated the ruthless Aramean commander's kitchen, she makes a reckless decision that puts her and her allies in grave danger.

Fresh off the battlefield, Liyam returns home to discover his beloved daughter is dead. After his vow to hunt down her killer leads to months of fruitless pursuit, his last hope is in a family connection that comes with strings attached. Strings that force him to pose as a mercenary and rescue an infuriating woman who refuses to leave her mission uncompleted.

When an opportunity to pave a path to a Hebrew victory arises, can Tirzah convince Liyam to fight alongside her in the refuge city of her birth? Or will Liyam's thirst for vengeance outweigh his duty to his people, his God, and the woman he's come to love?

AMAZING

Wow wow wow, I have read all Connilyn's books in the Cities of Refuge series and they were all wonderful but this one, oh I just could not put it down, so much suspense as Tirzah goes as a spy into the enemy and not only is it a great book full of suspense it makes you feel as if you are right there, in the Old Testament, in a time when the people were disobedient to God land he allowed them to be captured. This book is one of the very best I have ever read and I have read hundreds of books. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

Wonderful series conclusion!

Reviewed in Australia on 4 March 2020

What a wonderful way to bring this series full circle and therefore to a close! This series has drawn together three of my fiction-reading sweet spots—biblical fiction, romance, and suspense. Four sweet spots, really, when you consider that biblical fiction is also historical fiction by default. I’ve loved the opportunity to learn more about the cities of refuge, to explore the tension between justice and mercy, and to think about the beautiful way in which the existence of these cities pointed to Christ. And I love that we’ve been able to do all this from the perspective of both the manslayer and the blood avenger.

The level of suspense has varied with each book, depending on the plot, but this final one in the series hit a high point with a healthy dose of espionage as Tirzah and Liyam worked to undermine their enemies from within. Tirzah’s strength and her determination to not only serve Yahweh herself but exhort her fellow Israelites to do the same was inspiring, although I confess to hoping I don’t need to go to quite the same extremes she did!

In Liyam’s story we get our first full experience of the blood avenger’s perspective—the devastation, the driving need to avenge. As a parent, it was easy to understand his feelings, and yet having walked the journey of Moriyah’s family throughout the previous books of the series, it was also possible to see the other side of the scenario, not to mention the way in which bitterness hardens a person, even as they remain honourable in so many other aspects.

And once again, Cossette weaves a strong thread of romance through the story that, while never overshadowing the main story, will definitely satisfy romance-lovers’ hearts.

I’ll be sad to leave these characters behind, but I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next from this talented author!

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Read all four.
Had to delve into the next and then the next and just knew that the story wasn't finished until I came to the end of this one.. Thanking His Eminence The Holy Spirit 🙌🏾 for giving the author such a creative way of bringing Christ to light. Thank you Connilyn for being obedient.. These books aren't just stories; they're lights in the dark for anyone who'd like to get a better understanding of what the cities of refuge meant and Who 'Christ our Refuge', IS..

Eagerly awaiting your next exposition of scripture that might easily be dismissed without understanding

So enjoyed each book in this Cities of Refuge series. This was just as exciting. Love to follow the characters as they develop and to keep in touch with those we have already met in previous books. Brilliant writer.

my favourite of the series

Reviewed in Canada on 15 December 2020

this one ... this one was my favourite of the whole series, of all the books this author has gifted to us.

the majority of this book i loved. the plot was actually interesting and kept me invested; not just the individual character’s growth and learning of Yahweh and themselves, but the overall story and plot.

the characters, both old and new, are forever close to my heart now. i can truly say i laughed and cried with them - indeed, the corners of my eyes still sting from the ending.

i loved how, especially at the end, we (and by “we” i mean Liyam and Tirzah) were faced with beautiful, unchanging, relevant attributes of Yahweh — of how His mercy and His justice works, of how He is all we will ever need, of how He sustains us. and maybe that’s the reason i ended up loving this book and not just enjoying it — it brought me face to face with sentences i am currently learning, that i could take to heart.

so, yes, i enjoyed the action and the intrigue, the way we followed this war with aram and the parts everyone played in it. i enjoyed the two perspectives, i enjoyed the individual storylines... i even enjoyed the love story (though i skimmed parts of the romantic stuff cuz why).

just to balance my review: yes, parts were predictable, and yes, christian authors seem to fixate on the “clean” aspects of romance (that emotional tension bla bla) and i find that annoying for very valid reasons i won’t get into right now. but overall?

overall, with the immersive, detailed world painted for us through the eyes of real, tangible characters, with their stories that weave in and out of glorious truths, this was a great ending to a good series, and i am glad to have read it.

xxx.

The series could go on

Reviewed in Germany on 9 March 2020

I devoured this book, almost in one sitting, after waiting a long time for it to finally be released. There are so many lessons to be gleaned from the whole series that I don't really know where to begin. Maybe the most important is the call to excercises mercy on those who "sin against me". It has become so apparent to me that I have no right whatsoever to withhold mercy anyone, considering my own behavior much of the time. Mercy seems to be developing into a part of my character nowadays
