Having emerged victorious from the Cemetery of the Old Man, Eli begins his training as a commissioned defender of the realms. Eli's training does not last long as the Enemy, furious from his defeat in the cemetery, forces a showdown between the young defender and an ancient foe. With countless souls at stake, Eli must travel to the Desolate City and square off against an army of spiritual foes lead by the giant Polytheist. If Eli is to survive this latest mission for the King, he must learn the difference between knowing the truths of the King's Word and claiming these truths in his own life. In this latest installment of the Defenders of the Realms series, the author continues to display his gifted use of analogy as he makes the Bible come alive by weaving together the teachings of the Bible with the reader's imagination. This action-packed, page-turner not only keeps the attention of the reader, it also teaches Biblical truth and encourages Christian growth in an entertaining and relevant way.
