Book Description
Decades fighting other people’s fires prepared Kelvin Cochran to face his own fiery trial. He overcame poverty, prejudice, and pain to fulfill a childhood dream of helping others, rising to the top of firefighting’s professional ladder in Atlanta, Georgia. At one time nationally recognized as “America’s fire chief,” Kelvin unexpectedly found himself caught in a fireball of controversy over his orthodox Christian beliefs, for which he ultimately was fired by the city—making him a focal point in a national battle over religious freedom. Misrepresented by activists and the media, Kelvin relied on his faith to bring him through. In due course he emerged from the flames of scandal unscathed, like the friends of the prophet Daniel who were thrown into the burning furnace. Kelvin’s story is a sobering warning of how Christians faithful to biblical teachings are increasingly at risk of persecution in today’s culture. It is also an inspiring example of overcoming racial prejudice and adversity, and finding the courage to take the heat and stand for the truth.

Book Description
Sometimes you have to break the rules to discover the truth. In this long-awaited follow up to LEGACY OF TRIL: SOULBOUND, Healer Kaya is shocked to learn that she is Soulbound to Darius, the Barron she secretly trained with at Shadow Academy. But when Darius is sent away before she can get answers, Kaya is left with no choice but to follow. Kaya wants nothing more than to understand how it is that Darius could be Soulbound to two Healers and prove herself worthy of fighting in the war against the Graplar King, but Tril is a vast and dangerous place, and her journey is full of unexpected obstacles—such as her parents having gone missing and Graplars attacking Unskilled villages more and more. Also unexpected is the mysterious Barron named Gage who she befriends in her travels. But not all is what it seems. Darius has shocking information about Gage—information that changes everything Kaya thought she knew about what it means to be Soulbound.
