Menali’s life is changing, and not in a good way. Love was not a part of her plan. And if she did by chance fall for someone, it would be someone reasonable, not the handsome guy that flirts with everything in a skirt. That’s the way to get hurt, and Menali has organized her life very carefully to avoid pain. You never know… someone who is that adventurous might even be a member of the Rebellion, and that would never do…
Gilla’s life is filled with uncertainty. Her newborn son is safe, for now, even though she must call him by the alien name Mahsan. Her mysterious alien benefactor has provided safety for her and her husband, but for now they must hide in a cave, able to care for Mahsan but separate from their beloved Mirami. The cave isn’t ideal, but what is coming next might be unthinkable.

This science fiction romance is the second book in this allegory of the life of Moses. I’m not usually a fan of romances, but I found the main characters compelling, and I especially enjoyed the spiritual growth that each of them displayed throughout the book. I also found some other characters compelling, most notably Halarni, Menali’s kind, wise adoptive mother, and Reemah, the alien princess whose heart is drawn to a human baby. I’m hoping to see more of them in future books.
