<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>After her Canaanite family is killed by the Hebrews, Alanah disguises herself as a warrior and enters the battle to avenge her loved ones. She never intended to survive. When Tobiah, a Hebrew warrior, finds her unconscious among the dead, he faces an impossible dilemma: The only way to protect this wounded woman--the enemy of his people--is to marry her.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Cossette Consistently Brings the Old Testament to Life in an Engrossing, Fresh New Way</b> <br/><br/>Alanah, a Canaanite, is no stranger to fighting and survival. When her family is killed in battle with the Hebrews, she disguises herself and sneaks onto the battlefield to avenge her family. The one thing she never counted on was surviving. <br/><br/>Tobiah, a Hebrew warrior, is shocked to find an unconscious, wounded woman among the Canaanite casualties. Compelled to bring her to a Hebrew healer back at their camp, he is soon confronted with a truth he can't ignore: the only way to protect this enemy is to marry her.<br/><br/>Unused to being weak and vulnerable, Alanah submits to the marriage--for now. As she comes to know and respect Tobiah and his people, however, she begins to second-guess her plans of escape. But when her past has painfully unanticipated consequences, the tentative peace she's found with Tobiah, the Hebrews, and Yahweh is shaken to the core. Can Alanah's fierce heart and strength withstand the ensuing threats to her life and all she's come to love?<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Can vengeance give way to forgiveness when one woman's destiny becomes entangled with the very enemies she sought to destroy?<br/></b><br/>Motherless and raised alongside her brothers, Alanah, a Canaanite, is no stranger to fighting. When her father and brothers are killed in battle with the Hebrews, she disguises herself and sneaks onto the battlefield to avenge her family. The one thing she never counted on was surviving.<br/><br/>Tobiah, a Hebrew warrior, has spent his share of time on the battlefield and is shocked to find an unconscious woman among the casualties. Compelled to bring her to a healer back at the Hebrew camp, he's unprepared for the consequences of what he intended as an act of compassion. <br/><br/>In order to survive, Alanah must unite with her enemy. But will a terrible revelation drive her toward an even greater danger?<br/><br/>"In this last installment of her Out from Egypt trilogy, Cossette weaves a simple love story into a lesson on the virtues of faith, fortitude, and forgiveness. . . . Cossette's novel is a fitting end to a fascinating series about the power of faith."--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br/><br/>"Cossette does a remarkable job of giving readers a behind-the-scenes look into famous Bible stories, telling the tales from the perspective of an everyday person living through them. <i>Wings of the Wind</i>, along with the other books in the Out of Egypt series, are must-reads for fans of Biblical and historical fiction."--<b><i>RT Book Reviews</i></b> Top Pick<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>When she is not homeschooling her two sweet kids (with a full pot of coffee at hand), <b>Connilyn Cossette</b> is scribbling notes on spare paper, mumbling about her imaginary friends, and reading obscure, out-of-print history books. There is nothing she likes better than digging into the rich, ancient world of the Bible and uncovering buried gems of grace that point toward Jesus. Although a Pacific Northwest native, she now lives near Dallas, Texas. Connect with her at www.connilyncossette.com.
