In a world throttling toward its darkest hour... Ranger, Prince of Blue, befriends Ariela, a young maiden, not realizing that she is the daughter of his archenemy. When Ariela discovers her father Radagon's secret imperial ambitions, she is forced to flee for her life to the "Islands in Time." Rescued from her evil father by Ranger and Lam, his archeologist friend, Ariela is taken to the underground refuge city of Ha-Miqtal where she discovers a secret that will change her world and the future of Planet Blue. By virtue of the power of the River flowing through their lives, they unwittingly set in motion a series of events that moves them one step closer to the liberation of their planet. A missionary, pastor, presbyter, church-planter, teacher, author, and most recently an administrator for a Christian satellite TV channel, after twenty-two years on the mission field, Michael and his family answered the call to return to America to stand for truth in their own country. They bought land, built a cabin, and have begun a new journey toward an agrarian lifestyle.
