As they fight for the soul of Israel, will they find healing for their own?Eight years ago, after the Philistines surrendered the stolen Ark of the Covenant back to the Israelites, Eliora and her brother left their Philistinehomeland to follow it to the community of Kiryat-Yearim. Though they both were lovingly enfolded into a Levite family that guards the Ark, Eliora can’t stop feelinglike she doesn’t belong. Meanwhile, a faction of discontent Hebrews finds Kiryat-Yearim to be an unfit resting place and believes that the sacred vessel should be in the hands of thepriests who mean to restore the Holy of Holies in a new location. Under the guise of gathering Hebrews to worship together for the festivals, Levite musician Ronenhas been sent by his uncle to find where the Ark has been hidden and steal itnback. But Ronen never expected that the Philistine girl he rescued years agowould now be part of the very family he’s tasked to deceive.
