Hamutal is a humble shepherdess who follows the mesmerizing voice of God. When rowdy criminals assault her at Jerusalem's cistern one afternoon before Sabbath, she feels hopeless until Josiah rescues her and leaves the men bleeding in the street.
Young King Josiah's journey to find truth leads him to Jehovah's altar and- together with the woman he rescued from both tedium and peril-he seeks to leave behind the scandalous past of his grandfather's monarchy in exchange for a revolutionary plan. What will he do when restorers of the Temple at Jerusalem unearth an ancient scroll that spells doom for them all?

Robyn Langdon has loved writing since her childhood. Her stories and articles have been published in Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul and Enrichment Magazine. Consuming Fire is her first novel and she hopes it will motivate her readers to examine the original accounts of King Josiah in the Bible. She is a wife, minister, mother, sister, author, and business owner, but, first and foremost, she is a daughter of the King of Kings. When she's not writing, Robyn enjoys hiking, playing games with her family, and helping people use essential oils.
