    The book is also about the incredible healing properties of frankincense and myrrh. It is written in a very narration style that places a lot of distance between the character This book is set in the deserts, in what is today, the Middle East, in a time prior to Christ.

    It is written in a very narration style that places a lot of distance between the characters and the readers. As I began to explore the plot, I however became deeply interested in the lives of the desert caravaners during this time period. I was also interested in the way that frankincense and myrrh were used to heal. The caravan captain was also deeply religious which I initially found off-putting.

    It is what I would describe as a fourth seal chakra story. Rather than being fear based, the story is love based and the reader derives high points from incredible acts of kindness. It is not a story that everyone will understand or want to read, and in some ways, it is a book ahead of its time. However, I would recommend it to those who can handle depth and spirituality. I would certainly love to read more from this author, especially a non-fiction autobiography. Jul 23, Bonnie Clevenger rated it really liked it.

    The rules are simple, the system cruel: With one uprising crushed by the glittering elite, commoners and aristocrats alike now take sides for a final confrontation. At the center of it all are two ordinary siblings: Abi Hadley and her brother, Luke. Each has reason to hate the ruling Jardine family. Abi, who was once their servant, now seeks revenge for a terrible wrong. Luke was imprisoned on their whim—but his only hope may be an alliance with the youngest and most powerful of the clan, the cold and inscrutable Silyen Jardine.

    Risking everything to end a bright and shining tyranny, Abi, Luke, and Silyen find themselves bound by a single destiny.
