Lost Children of the Prophet by Angelique Conger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Available at Amazon

I was provided a copy of the book. What follows is an honest review.

Lost Children of the Prophet is a tightly written book with good characterizations. The story is told from the point of view of several of the participants, mainly a young man and woman who do not seem to have any relationship to each other.

While the opening of the book does not provide a time or location of the story, it does become clear after a while. It takes place in the times of the early events of the Bible. This should not scare away any reader. Christians can read it knowing the expressions used. Others can read it for what it is.

Ziva, our lead female character is a strong willed teenager. She knows what she wants and more importantly what she does not want. She wants to be mated with a man she loves, not one that has to.
Nat is a slave in the employment of one of the most cruel men in the city. His master is wanting to be the head priest of a religion of a god who requires much in the way of sacrifice, mostly bloody sacrifices. Nat moves up from a pot scrubber to the assistant of the priest.

How these two people relate is the basis of the story. Each are on a path, one set out for them from time they began their lives.

The book has a satisfying ending while also leaving a hook for the next book in the series. I recommend this book for all ages. There is no sex or serious violence in it so it can be read by all without a problem.
