Promised Land

by Hannah Gaudette

Talia has lived her whole life in the mountains, sheltered from the conflicts raging in her world. But when the flatlanders’ intolerance of her family’s faith in Adonai is brought to their doorstep, they are thrust into a struggle against the king’s “reformation” efforts, which are designed to change their beliefs through any means necessary.

The son of a reformer, Owen, was assigned as a spy to the mountains and was partly responsible for the arrest of Talia’s family. But this has never been a simple job for him. Family ties and a secret he swore to protect connect him to the Followers’ plight. The responsibility he feels towards Talia is dangerous; it could get him killed. But does he have a choice?

Talia watches a young reformer struggle to find where his loyalties lie. Owen witnesses the breaking of a young woman’s faith. And the stakes are higher than either of them imagined.

3.5 stars (liked it). I read and edited an early draft of this book, and Hannah's vision for the story was so sweet and engaging. Worth a try if you enjoy tales of family, courage, and a dash of romance!

Thought provoking

Deep, mature, and thought provoking. The plot moves at a great pace and keeps you riveted. Once I started, I couldn't put it down! I kept waiting for the author to take an easy out but the story remained raw and true throughout. Highly recommend! Can't wait to see more from this writer!!

Moving story about God´s true followers going through a persecution and how God is working in different ways. A fantasy setting in a middle age scenario, really well written and great characters.
