Dust Jacket:
Salome watched Lamanite warriors capture her son, tie him to a chain of prisoners, and herd him south toward the Land of Nephi. She tracked them for days, but lost them in the jumble of prints at the Sidon River. Lost and alone in the wilderness, nearly out of food, and feeling hopeless, she wonders if she should continue on or go home in shame to tell her kinsmen what happened.
Bringing his brother's wife on a journey to rescue his brother was probably not Jashon's best idea. They could move so much faster without Keturah, and her beauty is more than a little distracting. But then Ket spots a woman hiding in the trees near the Sidon. She has information about Gid, so Jashon promises to save her son. While they wait for just the right moment to rescue the prisoners, Jashon discovers that his brother is not the only man that needs to be saved.
My Review: 5 Stars!!!
Salome is sharp, resourceful and is a woman of experience. She know how to hold her tongue and also how to use it. Used to having all the men in her clan do her bidding but not respect her, she must adjust to and rely on this new rescue band full of Ammonite men and some women. Embarking on a dangerous mission into Lamanite territory with them she will do anything to save her son from his abductors.
I love Salome's personality, especially as she interacts with Lemech. It is also a sort of reunion with the characters from the Daughter of Helaman series. We learn more about them and get updates on their lives now. It is like Helaman's Army High School Reunion with new friends and romance on a dangerous journey into enemy territory. I loved it!
