“Nikolas is in the dark without light to guide him.  He cannot find his faith, his place in a world that seems hostile and frightening to him.  May he come to know the light of Christ so that he can carry that great illumination forward to be a beacon in his darkness.”

The timeline of this series has become seriously wonky since the last book.

The plot of this book moves in fits and starts. It's all so haphazard.
