On the Road to Teman L Nicodemus Lyons

Will one man's search for light be the salvation of his realm, or cause the very darkness he seeks to dispel?In Rygia, General Rolland Longsword faces a formidable task in molding young Justus Corden into the kind of man their king is looking for. At the same time, he begins to unravel a mystery surrounding his ornate sword... a mystery that may hold the key to who his people are and where they came from. In the realm of Teman, a disturbing prophecy is given over young Prince Josephus. His father, King James Eliada, seeks answers on Teman's holy mountain. But hope flees as quickly as it appears, and the king fears his realm will plummet into darkness. Espionage, betrayal, and murder threaten both realms at their core. The seven books of The Alliance deal with one man's spiritual journey and his efforts to find the true king. As he attempts to spread the light of God to his people, an ancient evil threatens both his land and Teman, the neighboring realm of righteous believers. The two formerly antagonistic realms must learn to work together to dispel this encroaching evil. Yet a growing number of dissenters believe they might be better off following the stronger, darker power. The race of people who call themselves Rygian become caught in the middle of a struggle between ancient enemies-those who fear God and those who follow this darker power. The Rygians' own mysterious beginnings may hold the key to their future, if only they can discover who they truly are. Through the lives of the characters, many Christian traits and spiritual truths are exemplified. The Alliance is marked by epic battles, political intrigue, suspense, mystery, and romance.
