Synopsis

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.

About Connilyn Cossette

When she is not homeschooling her two sweet kids (with a full pot of coffee at hand), Connilyn Cossette is scribbling notes on spare paper, mumbling about her imaginary friends, and reading obscure, out-of-print history books. There is nothing she likes better than digging into the rich, ancient world of the Bible and uncovering buried gems of grace that point toward Jesus. Although a Pacific Northwest native, she now lives near Dallas, Texas.

Goodreads review by Kristina on July 16, 2023

An intriguing first installment in The King's Men series! Both Avidan and Keziah were well-developed characters who grew as the story progressed. Avidan's dissatisfaction with being a Levite and Keziah's escape from an abusive betrothal added plenty of tension to the book. I do wish both of them had......more

Goodreads review by Beth on September 02, 2023

Voice of the Ancient kept me up past my bedtime on more than one occasion. I'll need to come back and revise this mess of words because I am sleep deprived and experiencing a book hangover. Characters inspired me as they walked through extraordinarily challenging circumstances. I hung on every word......more
