Six hundred years ago, in a country enriched in nobility, tradition and loyalty, four children are faced with a single choice. Their decision will alter the invisible battle in their midst.
Davina has come of age. She will stand in front of the king to proclaim a sacred kingdom oath. Torn between friends, will she refuse the test of love? Katrina started a new job. As the castle's gardener, she'll become a healer to the flowers, caring for all their needs. She never imagined she'd be a healer to the mind as well. When all seems lost, will she neglect the test of hope? Levi dreams of knightly honor and battlefield glory. But when the enemy closes in on him, he must face his biggest battle yet-the test of loyalty. After suffering through a past tragedy, Maria wants nothing more than to rid herself of the traditions of her country. Will she find what she's looking for deeper south, or will she be willing to take the test of faith?
Three friends faced with a choice. The fourth has already made theirs. Their decision is one we all must make. Their battle is ours. Armor on, soldier, and prepare for war.
