Kiriath's Quest

By Rick Barry

Description:

When King Jekoniah of Xandria is kidnapped by evil Grishnaki, the royal family searches for a way to save him. The ransom demanded by the Grishnaki is impossible, and an outright war on the Grishnaki would end in disaster—so Prince Kiriath resolves to undertake a secret mission into the Grishnaki's valley.

Strange creatures, roaming bands of Grishnaki, and a stretch of desolate land called the Deserted Kingdom pose unexpected dangers. As the ransom deadline approaches, Kiriath fears that he might not reach his father in time...

Book Takeaway:

In contrast to our time, when peer pressure tempts young adults to dismiss their parents as "old-fashioned," young Kiriath risks his very life to save his father from the evil Grishnaki. The dialogue sometimes includes paraphrases of Scriptural truths as it points the reader toward a higher moral standard.

Why the author wrote this book:

This book uses action and danger to uphold values such as love, loyalty, faith, and friendship.
