Eight years ago, when the Philistines stole and then surrendered the ark of the covenant back to the Israelites, Eliora left her Philistine homeland to follow the ark to the community of Kiryat Yearim. There, the family she was adopted into has guarded the ark at the top of a mountain in seclusion.
Ronen is a Levite musician determined to secret away the ark to a more fitting resting place, watched over by priests who would restore the Holy of Holies. He never expected that the Philistine girl he rescued years ago would now be part of the very family he's tasked to deceive.
As Ronen's attempts to charm Eliora lead them in unexpected directions, betrayal leaves Eliora with strained family ties and Ronen questioning his own loyalties. Ultimately, Eliora and Ronen are caught up in the battle for the soul of Israel and its future under the leadership of Samuel, the last judge before the era of the kings begins.

My Review ~ 5 STARS
Cosette has woven an incredible journey of sacrifice and
love between the pages of To Dwell Among Cedars. There is not a doubt in my
mind that she has thoroughly researched the time, place, and setting because
from beginning to end, magnificent descriptors drew me straight into the story.
I would venture to say she is becoming (if she isn’t already) an expert on all
things Old Testament.
Everything about this story is incredible. I don’t even have
the right words to describe the relationships between the characters, the
intricate details that never seem too heavy, and the beauty that comes from
obeying the Lord. If you choose to begin this journey, your emotions will be
tugged first one way, then another. You will not want to put this book down,
and then you will anxiously await the next one.
Fans of biblical fiction need to read this book! I received a
copy from the publisher and author. No compensation has been received.
