About the Book
Hadassah and Gidal love
their parents and will do anything for them. When Priestess Basmat tell Ehud
and Jerusha to pay their debt, they cannot and she takes Hadassah and Gidal as
her slaves for two years.
The priestess works them
hard, but there are two other servants to divide the load with, so they cope as
well as they can. Then King Saul comes in disguise requesting the priestess’s
other services—as a medium.
Will Hadassah and Gidal
trust Adonai to take care of them? What will happen after Priestess Basmat
comes face-to-face with the prophet Samuel?

About the Author
Faith Blum is a small-town Wisconsin girl. She’s lived in,
or outside of, small towns her whole life. The thought of living in a city with
more than 60,000 people in it scares her, especially after some interesting
adventures driving through big cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
Faith currently resides in the middle of the state of
Wisconsin with her husband and their cat, Smokey. She is blessed to be able to
have writing as her full-time career with household work and cooking to do on
the side. She loves to paint walls as long as she doesn’t have to do hallways
or ceilings.
When not writing, you can find her cooking food from scratch
due to food allergies (fun), doing dishes (meh), knitting, crocheting, sewing,
reading, or spending time with her husband (yay!). She is also a Community
Assistant for the Young Writers Workshop
and loves her work there. She loves to hear from her readers, so feel free to
contact her on her website.

Excerpt
The sky was dark when he arrived, but there were
still a few people left in the streets and one of them noticed him.
“Jacin, this man needs help!” The woman
shouted.
A man ran toward him and put a shoulder under his
arm. “Come with me.”
“No,” Achim said. “You must help me.”
“We are.”
“No, the king.” He choked.
“Water,” Jacin said as he helped Achim sit
on a rock.
Achim accepted the water and drank it thirstily. “King
Saul. He’s dead. The Philistines took his body along with those of his sons. I
don’t know where. You have to find them.”
Jacin knelt next to him. “I’m going to bring you
to my home. My wife will care for you there. Then I will gather as many men as
I can to go find King Saul. Put your mind at ease.”
Achim blinked once and nodded. “Thank
you.”
Jacin was a man of his word and his wife took care of
each of Achim’s wounds. Even the ones he didn’t know he had. The
Philistines had done much to him during the brutal battle. He had slashes and
cuts all over his body. By the time Jacin’s wife finished bandaging him, he
wondered if there was a part of him that didn’t have a bandage on it.
“Now that that is over, would you like
something to eat?”
Achim’s stomach growled. “Yes, please.”
Jacin’s wife smiled. “It will be ready in a
moment.”
“What is your name?”
“Rachel.”
Achim smiled. “Like Jacob’s wife?”
Rachel nodded. “Yes.”
“It’s a pretty name.”
“Thank you.” She approached with a plate of
food. “Eat hearty. I will be right back.”
Achim ate greedily rather than heartily. When he
finished, he set the plate aside, lay down and fell fast asleep.
