    About this series

    First in the series from the author who “has the unique ability to re-create not merely the feel but the impact of the classic George MacDonald novels” (Bodie and Brock Thoene, bestselling authors of the Zion Covenant series).

    After being sent to his uncle’s estate, young Percy Drummond has no intention of letting the country atmosphere soften his rebellious ways. Then he meets a village girl, Gwyneth Barrie, and her friendship changes his life.

    When Percy later returns, his intriguing friend has grown into a young woman. But by this time, Percy has caught the eye of his beautiful cousin Florilyn . . . who has also become Gwyneth’s friend. What will result of their threefold friendship? And what repercussions will his uncle’s surprising request have for them all?

      This book is probably my favourite from this author. So well written and the gospel story was creatively woven throughout. I can’t wait to start the next book.
