This title blends Scripture with fiction as you follow the journey of the Princess Teia from the destruction of Jerusalem to her ultimate home in the islands of Brittania. Her 'guide' is the prophet, Jeremiah. The telling of this story is 'wrapped' in modern times with the coronation of the new King of England.

Along the way, you get a glimpse into how life would have been as well as a sweet love story that develops. The only section of the story which did not keep my enraptured was the end when 2 characters start going on about the end of the world coming. All I could figure for that part is the author's attempt to set up future stories.

I could tell that the author did a fantastic job of research. The story did awaken a desire for me to read the Scripture which initiated the story and now I want to explore more of the documentation referenced.

The prose was written well enough, but not to the point of drawing me in emotionally which was disappointing. I don't think the outcome of Teia's and Eochaid's relationship being so easy to foretell helped. The religious aspect of the book with all the biblical quotes seemed a bit preachy at the end. ( It didn't bother me, but some it might) I did find the lifestyle of that time interesting to hear about because I LOVE hearing about the time period .

An enjoyable read, even if you're not a believer in God.

The book begins with the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem and Jeremiah saving the lives of two princesses. From that point on, the story is largely a work of fiction that comes from the author's imagination.

This is an interesting book with well developed characters and details from the time in which they lived. I liked how the author added a lot of internal struggle for the main princess, Teia; D. A. Brittain did a very good job of letting the reader see how difficult it was for Teia to always follow God's leading through Jeremiah when she didn't always want to.

This is a good book for fans of Biblical fiction.
