The Restorer’s Son by Sharon Hinck

Back Cover: Plunged again into the gray world of Lyric and Hazor, Susan and Mark search frantically for their teenage son, Jake, as all signs hint that a trusted ally has betrayed them and threatens their son. Assassins and political intrigue, false leads, and near misses beset their path, which will lead them into the dark prisons of Hazor before the One’s purpose is revealed.

Cast out by those he trusts and preferring to cross swords with the One rather than submit to His will, Kieran flees to enemy Hazor, only to find that the One knows no borders. Pursued by his calling, Kieran journeys to Sidian, where he finds a boy without a home, a king with burning questions, and a nation torn by darkness. As he embraces the tasks the One has set before him, this new Restorer learns that the One requires his all-perhaps even his life.

The Restorer by Sharon Hinck

Back Cover: Susan Mitchell needed a change-any kind of change. Nearly twenty years of marriage to her college sweetheart, Mark, had given her two teenagers and two grade-schoolers, along with miles of unmatched socks, sticky countertops, and the ever-growing hum of sheer bedlam. When had she become so . . . insignificant? Hadn’t God once had a plan for her?

Well, at least Mark had a plan: for an attic hideaway free of iPods and science projects and cookie crumbs. But before Susan can finish her first journal entry, she finds herself pulled through a portal into a world grappling for its soul and waiting for a promised Restorer. Someone does have a plan for her-one she never would have imagined. While she struggles to adapt to a foreign culture full of unfamiliar technologies and taboos, she faces unexpected battles, mind-poisoning enemies, and a profound spiritual journey. Her adventure will forever change her family, her faith, and how she experiences love—from the One.

Rise of the Dibor by Christopher Hopper

Back Cover: A world untouched by evil and ignorant of temptation is quietly awakened to a wicked influence in its kingdom–one that threatens to destroy all life. At first, any signs of change are subtle, but slowly even creation itself heralds the impending doom that awaits.

Luik, son of Lair, embarks on an epic saga to protect his people and to attempt to keep his world from following the fate of one that has gone before it–earth. What some thought was merely a means to an end, others will believe will be a birth of a legend.

Luik and a brilliant cast of characters join together in this perfect world gone wrong as it becomes the epicenter for a war of historic proportions.

Rise of the Dibor spans issues of friendship, love, and loyalty, and delves into some of the most essential questions of the Christian faith, including humanity’s ability, or complete failure, to resist temptation, and our inevitable need for a Savior.

The story that turned children into warriors, and warriors into heroes.

The Secret of the Swamp King by Jonathan Rogers

Back Cover: Your majesty – I write to warn you: your most dangerous enemy dwells under your roof.  Beware the youngest son of Errol. He has convinced himself that he is the Wilderking of ancient prophecy, and the rightful occupant of the throne at Tambluff.  His every action is calculated to convince your courtiers of the same…he shamelessly claims to be friends with the feechiefolk, part of a scheme to build a legend around himself that is in keeping with the Wilderking Prophecy. Your majesty, it pains me to accuse a fellow Corenwalder of treason. But it pains me more to think that my king would be nurturing a traitor under his own roof. Yours sincerely, A loyal subject”

The Bark of the Bog Owl by Jonathan Rogers

Back Cover: Aidan didn’t quite know what to do. He had been summoned here, yet he felt as if he was interrupting. Suddenly, the white head lurched up. The old man’s big green eyes searched around the room, as if he had heard a voice and was trying figure out where it came from.

When they passed over Aidan, his eyes locked in. They seemed to see more in Aidan than any eyes had ever seen before. The old man spoke. “Hail to the Wilderking…Corenwald’s deliverer.”
