In the Shadow of Caledron L Nicodemus Lyons

Just as Teman discovers its greatest hope, it is confronted by its greatest enemy.

On discovering the truth about her heritage, Bethany finds herself swept up into a life of confusion and responsibility that threaten to break her. Only the king can guide her through it and help her accept her destiny, but it's all too much for her to bear.

Meanwhile, as Stephen seeks to find his cousin's murderer, he and the king of Teman learn that higher people are involved with an even deeper conspiracy. But exposing the truth threatens to split the realm. Bethany may be the key to pulling the people together, but she feels ill equipped to assume her role.

In Rygia, a power-hungry baron seeks an ancient gift that purports to make him the most powerful man in the world. All of Rygia suffers under his dominion as he forms an alliance with ancient enemies and tears the castle apart in his attempt to find the gift.

With a price on both their heads, Justus Corden and Squire Fox must leave the safety of Teman and return to Rygia to find the true prince and bring him to safety. King Josephus promises to help, but a massive attack against his realm prevents his people from coming to their aid.

The seven books of The Alliance series 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.
