I hope this author starts with the new book where she left off. This adventure took me to a new land, new people and a war to unite them as one people. I enjoy this Author, she has never disappointed me yet.

This isn't my favorite in the series as it focuses on Nigel, Avatar, and Mirit, But I still love it.
After Prince, Titus is kidnapped and his loyal guardian murdered Nigel, Chad, and Avatar are sent to Tunland on a mission to rescue Titus. When they join a gypsie tribe they meet a young swordswoman named Mirit and things won't be the same again. To rescue Titus they must fight Huel, (Tunlands so-called "god") keep their cover and overcome secrets in their mists.
Defiantly recommend this 5th book in the series for Christian teens and adults!
