Illuminated (The White Road Chronicles)By Jackie CastleDescription:Alyra, mockingly known as Princess, was captured at an early age by the evil ruler, Darnel, and brought up in the dark land of Racah. At the age of seventeen, she considers herself nothing special. She has no recollection of who she is or where she came from. Her hope of ever finding freedom dims. Until the messenger arrives. Until he brings to light the meaning behind the medallion she's kept hidden. Until she accepts the blinding truth. Now she flees for her life. Alyra’s journey leads her down a narrow road with strange traveling companions. Together, they encounter a kingdom where nothing is what it first seems. Book Takeaway:Themes of staying on course, trusting God's love for us, the importance of friends and the support we all offer each other along the way. Why the author wrote this book:I see my own life as a journey, and each step I take is a choice to follow the path God has laid out for me. Sometimes I slip up and get off track, but he never stops finding ways to bring me back. This story came to me one day, a enchanting way to see the Christian walk in a different way. |
