Kurzbeschreibung
With the passing of her elder husband, nineteen-year-old Kenana finds herself queen of Adah—and heavy with child—a child who may or may not be human. Born of daughters of man but sired by fallen angels, the Nephilim are powerful creatures—powerful and often evil.
Raped by such a fallen angel prior to her husband’s death, Kenana is tormented by the thought of what may be growing inside her. And as she is about to give birth, Kenana receives some unsettling news: a massive army is gathering, an army determined to remove her from power, an army composed of mighty Nephilim warriors—and led by a traitor. Only one man can stop the coming destruction, the true king of Mesopotamia—a man who also happens to be her true guardian angel.
Kindred Spirits review
Reviewed by Jennifer Ray
With her husband Prince Jubal now dead, young Kenana is made Queen of Adah, a fact that does not sit well with her eldest stepson and breeds unrest amongst him and his allies.
However, Kenana's first priority is the impending birth of her child, a babe that might not be her husband's, but the progeny of the Nephilim who took advantage of her so many months before. Will her son be human? Will he be good, or inherit the evil nature of the Nephilim?
Meanwhile, the enemies of Kenana and Adah have amassed an army to march against them. Her trusted friend, Asher, returns just in time to deliver her baby and to spirit them both away to safety from the war-minded Nephilim.
Has Asher returned only as her servant and protector? Or is there more to his feelings for Kenana?
Having previously read Verna Hargrove's GLORIOUS COMPANION, which begins the story of Kenana and ends with quite the cliffhanger, I was very interested to see how this wondrous tale ends in MESOPOTAMIAN MAIDEN. I will say right up front that MESOPOTAMIAN MAIDEN is really a continuation of the story begun in that first book, so I highly recommend reading them in order to best experience this story.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SERIES: I am a Bible student and teacher. The one passage in the Bible that has always gotten my attention was Genesis Six, where it tells of the "sons of God" marrying "daughters of men" and having giants for children. It was an evil thing to do. Thus, the world wide flood that destroyed everyone except Noah and his family. I borrowed the Book of "Enoch" and read how he believed they were fallen angels. So I took that position, even though some ministers think it was sons of Cain marrying daughters of Seth. Another idea I took from the Book of Ruth is the doctrine of redemption-a redeemer called a goel. (El being the oldest name for God.) So in this series "Kenana" interacts with both fallen men and angels in the novel, "Angel Heart". Her husband, Jubal, a descendant of Cain, had raped her as a small girl, and then married her to save face. She did not love him. She loved the angel, Malluch, until she discovered that he had an evil heart. Another character in the book is "Asher". He is a Goel, someone who goes for God. Asher is a righteous man and is a main character in "Kindred Spirits". His goal is to set Kenana free from the effects which sin has had on her. "Kindred Spirits" begins with Kenana having a hard pregnancy and a hard delivery of a son. It is Asher that is there for her.
