Determined, smart and a master of both the sword and the bow, Lady Carliss has proven herself as a veteran Knight of the Prince. Returning from a mission of aid, Carliss is plunged into adventure once again as she searches for the marauders responsible for kidnapping a friends’ family. Along the way she is reunited with Sir Dalton and discovers that the struggle in her heart is far from over. When Dalton falls to the vicious attack of a mysterious, poisonous creature, Carliss finds herself in a race against time. As Dalton clings perilously to life, she must find the antidote in the distant and strange city of Moorue.
While there, Carliss uncovers the master plot of a powerful Shadow Warrior that will soon overtake the entire Kingdom. Her faith in the Prince and her courage as a knight are tested as she faces evil Shadow Warriors and a swamp full of dreadful creatures. The lives of many, including Dalton’s, depend on Carliss. But she cannot save them all, for time is running out. She faces an impossible choice: save Dalton, or let him die so that others may live.
Chuck Black, a former F-16 fighter pilot and tactical communications engineer, is the author of nine novels, including the popular Kingdom series. He has received praise from parents across the country for his unique approach to telling biblical truths. His passion in life is to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and to love his wife, Andrea, and their six children. He lives with his family in North Dakota.
Back Cover Reviews:
Who doesn’t like reading about a girl who is a warrior? This is Joan of Arc meets fantasy. The dialogue is fluidly beautiful. I did want Lady Carliss to sit Selena down and tell her to stop being so impulsive before she repeatedly rushes headlong into trouble (c’mon Lady Carliss!) – and I do wish that the author had written a little more and showed us more often what he told us instead (and trusted the reader to figure out things through body language and tone of voice instead of spelling it all out at times). That being said, I loved the strong allegorical aspects in this fantasy world and the story is touching and powerful - and creative!
All in all, it’s a good story and worth checking out to decide for yourself!
