Ana peered over
Teo’s shoulder as he examined the caravel. “Do we really need to know? Isn’t it
enough that we escaped?” Teo turned around, resting his hand on the pommel of
his sword. “He’s our enemy, Ana. He stands opposed to everything we believe. I
can’t back down out of fear. If I don’t confront him, who will?” Teo glanced
down at his waist. “This is the sword of Arman. Your grandfather believed in
fighting injustice with courage and honor. I’m a solider of his regiment. Those
are the principles I live by as well.” Ana stared at the sword for a moment,
then lifted her eyes to Teo’s. “Alright. Whatever you face, I’ll stand by your
side.”

Summary: The Word of Deu needs to come
to Chiveis. And Theo and Ana are the ones to bring it. But they have a great
enemy who will stop at nothing to be certain that does not happen. A kidnapping,

and multiple chases from those bent on taking their lives all must be faced

love.
Notes: The third in the Chiveis
Trilogy, this story takes place in a future time under the concept that God’s
Word has been lost for centuries and an accidental discovery of it changes the
lives of those who hear it. It’s been primarily the story of a young man and
young woman as they face banishment from their country due to their following
of Deu and many trials as those who follow and worship evil do all they can to
prevent the truth from being heard. In this story Theo and Ana face not only
the continuing battle to destroy them and the truth, but also trials in their
relationship as temptation to go too far grows stronger and strong wills clash.
In the first book Theo faced great temptation. In the second, it was Ana who
faced it. This book is more focused on their adventures together and the war
against evil than specific temptations for them, but a few short ones occur.
It’s also a look at the power of truth as those back in Chiveis face another
opportunity to stand up for the truth or deny it.
