(Earthsinger Chronicles #1)
by L. Penelope
Synopsis:
Orphaned and alone,
Jasminda lives in a land where cold whispers of invasion and war linger
on the wind. Jasminda herself is an outcast in her homeland of Elsira,
where her gift of Earthsong is feared. When ruthless soldiers seek
refuge in her isolated cabin, they bring with them a captive--an injured
spy who threatens to steal her heart.
Jack's mission behind enemy lines to prove that the Mantle between Elsira and Lagrimar is about to fall nearly cost him his life, but he is saved by the healing Song of a mysterious young woman. Now he must do whatever it takes to save Elsira and its people from the True Father and he needs Jasminda's Earthsong to do it. They escape their vicious captors and together embark on a perilous journey to save Elsira and to uncover the secrets of The Queen Who Sleeps.
Thrust into a hostile society, Jasminda and Jack must rely on one another even as secrets jeopardize their bond. As an ancient evil gains power, Jasminda races to unlock a mystery that promises salvation.
The fates of two nations hang in thebalance as Jasminda and Jack must choose between love and duty to fulfill their destinies and end the war.
I received this book via NetGalley. So far my favourite thing about it is that every chapter starts with a little excerpt from a folktale. I believe it was a wonderful idea from the author.

The Red Tent
by Anita Diamant
Synopsis:
Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that are about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons. Told in Dinah's voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood--the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through a hard-working youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past. Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable achievement in modern fiction: a new view of biblical women's society.
A Bible story told through the eyes of a woman – I think I'm in for a treat. The book has a very high rating on Goodreads too so I have high expectations.
