What determines the value of a soul?
Despite the heroics of young Reimar, his farmhold's crops are burned in a savage raid with winter fast approaching. Desperate, the elders petition for help from the church to provide them enough food to survive. They find their local parish flooded with pleas from many other villages and farmholds in similar need and aid is short.
Brother Finn, a monk sentenced to exile on pain of death, is stranded. A viking attack damaged the ship taking him to his appointed sanctuary, leaving him trapped under the authority of the overwhelmed priest. Caring nothing for consequences Brother Finn might suffer, the priest orders him to aid in the distribution of alms and sends him to Reimar's farmhold to gauge what can be done. Discovering the farmhold's need is too great for the church to provide all the alms needed, Brother Finn brokers a trade: seven children to be given to the church for the food needed to survive the winter.
Having created the deal, Brother Finn is forced to finish what was started. He must escort Reimar and the other six children to Saint Martin's Academy for training. They must cross the rugged land and lakes of Akiniwazi by train and ship. A gauntlet of dangers filled hostile savages, vikings, killer storms and demons. Can Brother Finn finish his original journey into exile before the snow comes? Will Reimar and the children survive their journey to a better life?

Review
"This is a very entertaining book. It is exciting, has great charactersand great descriptions of the spiritual battles. This book is of thesame caliber as Peretti's books, "Piercing the Darkness" and "ThisPresent Darkness.""
"...drags you in, like a smooth suspenseful movie."
"The world is complex and dynamic"
"Great book! Can't wait for more!"
"An excellent story by an author just coming onto the scene."
"If you enjoy fantasy literature with some novel elements and a flavor that you won't find anywhere else I can surely recommend picking up thisbook. Personally, I can't wait until the next book in the series isfinished!"
"The Light DID Rise for this author! ...it says things today's world needs to hear"
"The book actually made me feel, in a empathetic way that only a truly well crafted story can."
It's "Eaters of the Dead", meets "The Name of the Rose", meets "Last of the Mohicans" meets, "Treasure Island", meets "Huckleberry Finn", meets "The Exorcist"!
