Summary: Leinad’s life had always been peaceful, until the day his father was murdered. Faced with the cold reality of his father’s past, as well as his own, sixteen-year-old Leinad runs to the wilderness of Arrethtrae, accompanied only by his adopted sister. But when they are both captured and enslaved, Leinad must learn the truth behind the lies before the Dark Knight and his Shadow Warriors overtake all of Arrethtrae.
Notes from The Radical Reader:
- Noble Characters: Leinad and Tess are orphans with the distant memory of their father fading as their lives slip away in either slavery or hiding. When the call of the King comes, they accept his guidance and fight for the kingdom of Arrethtrae.
- Captivating Plots: These allegorical stories will bring the Bible to life in an entirely new way for young readers. Heroic knights and ladies, each tasked with spreading the hope of the King and the Prince to the distant reaches of the kingdom, are worthy heroes to be admired and emulated. Chuck Black’s story and plot mix truth with fiction and seek to teach Biblical truths to young readers in an engaging way.
- Elaborate Worlds: Young readers will recognize names and places as direct allegorical stories from Scripture, fueling their excitement to read the fiction stories and be empowered by the true tales. The Kingdom Series is a powerful tool and will strengthen readers for years to come.
