99 Bible Secrets
At some point in our lives, we have all hit a wall, been in a rut, felt depressed or struggled for lack of an idea on how to move forward. The Bible describes that moment saying that "people perish for lack of knowledge." Not anymore! Now you can have the answers to those problems and more. Find out the Biblical secrets that can unlock the life you were meant to live.
Winds of War
The land of Everard has been at peace for centuries. But one night Ebben sees a dragon in the sky. Thousands of miles away, Lyzie, the Miss 'o the Sea, uncovers a nefarious plot that threatens the keepers. In the high mountains, Symeon feels tremors that shake the very foundations of the ancient city of The Pearl. In the far North, Liella is forced to use her magic to bring down a city's walls. Will they become heroes before it's too late? The Winds of War are rising!
