Wells and Wanderers – Amorites (Light of Nations #1)
Inanna, an Amorite chieftain's daughter, craves to be free as the eagles that fly above her hometown.
Utu, her loyal twin, just wants to keep his wayward sister out of trouble.
Neither succeeds, and their dreams are uprooted as they're sold into slavery. During their forced travels, they encounter nations they’d only known from stories, palaces beyond description, and fickle kings claiming to be all-powerful deities.
Yet when serving the wandering household of Avram and Sarai from Ur, they encounter a mystery god intent on upturning national boundaries, calling new loyalties, and directing the eyes of his followers to dreams vaster than the star-filled sky.
But what has this god of unexpected paths and promises to offer two Amorite slaves?

Kheti and his family have farmed papyrus along the Nile for generations. Kheti is confident the gods of Egypt and the harmony maintained by the divine Pharaoh are the sources of his prosperity. Then he watches his beloved river turn to blood, his crops fail, and his nation descend into chaos.
The Hebrew God wants his people released from slavery.
When the gods remain silent and Pharaoh is powerless to stop the carnage, Kheti wrestles with which way to turn. Replant his flattened crops and cling to Egypt’s gods? Or forsake his roots to follow new friends and a new faith to a distant land?
Could there be a place in God’s family for an Egyptian who kept God's people as slaves?

Reuel's family have been traveling coppersmiths for generations, but it's not enough. His Israelite customers don’t respect any Midianite, and his father only takes pride in what his older brother does. When Israel’s power wanes and Midianite raids shift who’s on top, all that could change. Has the time come when a second son can outshine the eldest?
Jael married Reuel with dreams of a home filled with love and respect, but her marriage has become as dry as the drought-plagued land they live in.
Reuel rejected all the gods, and Jael followed his lead. But is what she has all she’ll ever have? Why does her sister, Zura, find such hope in the God of Israel, even though she remains blind?
All are broken, but can they, like bronze, be recast?

Saphi has spent her life despising the mother who scarred her face and condemned her to obscurity as a temple sweeper in the house of Dagon. Scorned and friendless, she expects nothing from the Philistine gods except silence.
Then the Philistines capture the ark of the God of Israel.
Paraded into Dagon’s temple as a trophy of victory, the sacred ark should mark Israel’s defeat. Instead, terrifying signs and unexplainable disasters begin to shake the city. Israel’s God is no helpless captive—and as fear spreads among her people, Saphi is swept into events far greater than her own pain. Events that will lead her beyond everything she has ever known and force her to confront the wounds she cannot escape.
Why would the God of Israel notice someone like her?
And what if he demanded the very thing she can’t give?
Set during the time of 1 Samuel and the judgeship of Samuel, this gripping biblical novel brings the Philistine world vividly to life. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction that is realistic, thought-provoking, and spiritually compelling.
The Light of Nations series features standalone novels, each centred on a different people group whose story intersects with Israel’s. While the books move chronologically through the Old Testament and include subtle connections between titles, each can be enjoyed on its own.
For lovers of Connilyn Cosette, Tessa Afshar, and Lynn Austin.
