Shira is now living in freedom at the foot of Mt. Sinai, upon which

chaos gives Shira an unexpected opportunity to learn the arts of

who betrayed her, the caretaker of three young children, and the
target of a vengeful woman whose husband was killed by Shira's
people, the Levites. As contention between the Hebrew tribes and
the foreigners fans the flames of another dangerous rebellion,
Shira will come face-to-face with the heartbreak of her past that
she has kept hidden for so long. How can she let go of all that has

she truly is?

at the top of a mountain in seclusion. Ronen is a Levite musician
determined to secret away the ark to a more fitting resting place,

never expected that the Philistine girl he rescued years ago would
now be part of the very family he's tasked to deceive. As Ronen's
attempts to charm Eliora lead them in unexpected directions,

freedom.
