About the Characters

Navarro Silvinton is a Christian Paladin with moral fiber and a determination to protect the innocent against assaults from evil, monsters, and sorcery. But he wasn't always a defender of good. In his sordid past he was a brawling sailor whose only passion was to drink, conquer women, and excel in every fighting technique his martial and weapons' masters instructed him.
              
However, his grandfather paid Navarro visits in ports he would moor. In these times, Navarro heard tales of battles his grandfather had been in. What intrigued him were references to forthcoming skirmishes. He was a warrior. One day, his grandfather unsheathed his majestic blade, The Sword of the Lord, which awed Navarro. Briefly Navarro handled it, but it was quickly taken back. No one with an impure heart had ever wielded it.

The final time Navarro would ever see his grandfather, he was told he would receive the Sword of the Lord as his own. Navarro was excited at first until he was handed a Holy Bible. Out of deference to his grandfather, he read it nominally. But the more he read, the more he was captivated. His time in the Bible increased. His time with arrogant weapons' masters decreased. The Word of God revealed his need for Jesus Christ as Savior. After seeking the Lord's direction for his life, he met a Paladin mentor Salvatore and became a Paladin himself, dedicated to protecting what's right and opposing all that's wicked. Because of his past lifestyle, he vowed to never let his heart be influenced by a woman. His resolve is about to be challenged on every front.

 

Candace Veldercrantz is the spirited daughter of Baron Kelt. When she was a young girl her mother was murdered. Since that time her father raised her and meticulously trained her in self-defense and fighting techniques. Kelt didn't want her to perish as her mother had. But as the years passed, Candace excelled even her father's expectations of her. She had blossomed into a woman of stunning beauty and stalwart character. Her spiritual mentor, the Captain of the Elite Guard Battalion Simeon, assumed responsibility to teach Candace in the Word of God, guide her courtly mannerisms, and to be her confidante since her father had turned from his faith in Christ. Baron Kelt loved her dearly and wanted the best for her. His penchant for the royal lifestyle has him sending invitations for princely suitors near and far. The incessant visits of self-boasting princes tests Candace's patience, but one suitor wants more than her hand. He wants her soul.

 

 
Zakili Terishot, the fiery Silver Elf Prince of Verdant Wood, reflects the antithesis of his normally reclusive people. A wild, unbridled soul, he finds himself in bitter clashes with his father the king. Incredibly, only a year ago, King Gallatar delighted in his son's vivacious temperament instead of being opposed to it. But the twilight of distrust and paranoia has eclipsed the King's soul and the other elves are adopting his separatist attitude. Only Zakili has the charisma and personality to unite the Silver Elves and ignite their warrior spirits against an enemy bent on their annihilation. What he doesn't realize is a threat infinitely greater looms on the horizon.
