    About this series

    One book could change the world—or cost them everything.

     

    It's 1459, and former monk Andreas de Bonomo has found his place among the Vallense Christians of the Angrogna Valley. He's preparing for life as a preacher—and life with Constanza Pavarin.

     

    But when he learns of an ancient New Testament manuscript rescued from Constantinople, he can't ignore the opportunity to make God's Word available to all.

     

    Now Andreas faces an unknown enemy who wants the Vallenses and their Bible crushed forever. How far will Andreas and Constanza go to protect the Word of God? And how far will the mysterious Lord of Luserna go to stop them?

     

    Embark on a thrilling journey from the wild beauty of the Alps to the bustling streets of Florence at the dawn of the Renaissance, as scholars rediscover ancient works and new ideas thrive . . . and one long-forgotten book can change the fate of the world.

      His enemies want him to flee. One little girl needs him to stay.   Raimond Durand is used to the persecution that comes with spreading the gospel across Italy's Piedmont. But when a snowstorm forces him to seek shelter, he stumbles into the village of Chivasso and meets a little girl named Elionor. A girl the same age his own daughter would have been.   Cast out by her greedy aunt, Elionor has made her home in a barn. When Raimond discovers the fate awaiting her, his heart won't let him walk away. But Elionor's aunt and the village of Chivasso make no secret of their proudest moment: they killed the last preacher who came to town.   The one man who might help has secrets of his own—secrets that could be Raimond's salvation or his undoing. Rescuing Elionor is a risk Raimond can't afford. Abandoning her is a risk he will not take.   Journey through the rugged landscape of fifteenth-century Italy, where faith is tested at every turn and the power of compassion changes lives.
