About this listen

"A triumphant story in which flawed characters face real choices and must rely on a real God to save them."—MESU ANDREWS, bestselling and award-winning author

Gavriel, a soldier in the elite company of Yonatan—son of King Saul—dreams of forging his destiny through crafting weapons with his own hands. Despite earning his place among Israel's finest, he is haunted by a dark past that no distraction can dispel. When his reckless behavior crosses a line, Yonatan gives him one last mission to prove his worth: help persuade a distant Kenite tribe to sever their ties with the Amalekites.

Zahava, a gifted goldsmith hidden behind her father's legacy, lives in the shadows due to her physical affliction. Her unmatched and unrecognized talent is a closely guarded secret within her family. Disheartened by a future that seems unattainable, she resigns herself to a life of obscurity. However, when Gavriel arrives in her village, they're tangled together in ways neither could have imagined. As they navigate unforeseen dangers and enemy threats, Gavriel must confront his past and either bend his knee to the One True King or lose the woman he loves forever.

The King's men series is very, very good and it will be a shame after the next book, when this series will end. So refreshing to have more masculine topics in biblical fiction and the 'modern' stereotype women shoved into history where the character does not ring true. Narration is very good particularly JTR, but LH has a hopeless attempt male voices as per usual, and an annoying way of attacking the last syllable of words. She wasn't as bad in this book as previous ones thankfully. It would have been nice to have been longer and more detailed. Gavriel came across as being not a bad chap apart from his drinking, so it would have been good to expand on his character and his state of mind etc. It was good to have an imperfect heroine for once, it gets tedious in many other books to have the same stunning beautiful heroine - so this was a more real heroine and likeable. It was actually so good I listened to it in 2 sessions - so my comments are just personal thoughts, not to put the novel down in any way. As soon as Shalem appeared it was quite obvious who he was to anyone who has read all the novels and novellas. Highly recommended audio book and I will listen to the whole series again once the final book is out.

Excellent all round
