The Moses Chronicles Volume 1: Bondage by H.B. Moore (Heather Moore)

The Moses Chronicles Volume 1: Bondage by H.B. Moore

This story was absolutely exciting and thrilling from the beginning to the very end!

“Bondage” Book #1 in the Moses Chronicles alternates chapters with the telling of Miriam and Moses’s story in their point of view. All the while weaving in real biblical characters like Aaron, Caleb, and Ramses II; and fictional characters like Katu and Deborah.

This book ends with Moses leaving his mother and the Nile Valley to head towards the Hebrew Villages; obviously leaving it open ended to continue with volume #2.

I love reading Bible-based fictional stories and have read many-including all those written by HB Moore (Heather Moore). Although there are fictional characters and events that happen; HB Moore does include real biblical facts and events, making this story rich with history and a thrilling story line.

I read this story in one night because I didn’t want to put it down and was disappointed to see it end. I can’t wait to read The Moses Chronicles Volume 2 when it’s released and this series of books will definitely be a set to keep on my bookshelf to read again and again!

I received a complimentary copy of this e-book from the author in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

About the Book
Moses has always felt like an outsider in his powerful Egyptian family, even though his close relationship with Ramses, the prince of Egypt, and their cousin Pentu keeps him entwined in the dealings of royalty. But when their youthful antics get them in trouble, the Pharaoh decides it’s time for all three of them to grow up and own their respective responsibilities. Now betrothed to a woman he cares nothing for, Moses wonders where his life is headed.

Miriam, a Hebrew slave, lives with a secret she cannot share with anyone. And though it has been eighteen years since she saved her baby brother, she is constantly getting in trouble for spying on him. In a desperate attempt to control Miriam, her older brother, Aaron, and her father look to find her a husband, something Miriam has never been interested in—until Caleb, a young, handsome man, confesses his feelings for her and asks her father for her hand in marriage.

When Libya advances on Egypt, Moses and Miriam are suddenly thrown together as the Egyptian royals and soldiers flee. Hebrew slaves are forced to defend the kingdom, and Miriam and Caleb are enlisted under Moses’s direction. Moses quickly sees there is more to this downtrodden people than what he’s been taught. When he witnesses the atrocities enacted against the slaves, he realizes he must leave—he must find out who he really is.

A gripping account of the events that lead to Moses’s flight into the wilderness, The Moses Chronicles: Bondage will take you back to a rich period of history replete with scandal, strife, love, and hope as God prepares a prophet to lead His chosen people.
