Csaba
'A haza elveszett!' – sóhajtanak föl Móruc kicsiny székely falucska lakói 1918 végén. Fileki Márton fia nem érti. Ugyan hogyan veszhetett volna el, hiszen minden a helyén maradt, minden a régi. Ferkó csak a kolozsvári egyetemen döbben rá a valóságra, hogy milyen sors jutott a magyarságnak saját hazájában. De azt is látja, hogy minden feszültség, mely a különböző nemzetiségűek között támad, a politika műve. Emberi sorsok, futó szerelmek, kényszerű meghajlás a hatalom előtt, dacos helytállás, összefogás a nehéz időkben – így zajlik a kis falu élete. Ferkó férfiként érti meg, hogy hiába is vár a nagyapja meséiből ismert Csaba királyfira, a szebb jövőt neki magának kell megteremtenie. A Székelyföld gyönyörű tájait bemutató leírásokban, élményszerű jelenetekben és jellemrajzban gazdag történet az emberség szép példája.

Egy regény arról, hogy összefogással, célokkal többre mennénk mint ezek nélkül.
