NEW SERIES FROM R. J. LARSON! Legendary creatures have emerged from ancient realms to stalk mortals. Words, long forgotten, are spoken for the first time in a thousand years, and the soul of an ancient forsaken empire is stirring to life. One family has been entrusted with a treasure that endangers all who possess and understand its mysteries-no one is safe. More than a thousand years after the fall of the Syvlande Empire, the world's most powerful leaders strive to crush all challenges to their Chaplet faith. But as these corrupted leaders conspire, the Eternal is calling to His faithful through the ancient Scriptures, The Rone'en. A devout handful of believers secretly disperses the Scriptures throughout the former empire. For their defiance, some will pay the ultimate forfeit … with their lives.
