Protecting the Poor

Forced apart by danger, two brothers must decide what they’re willing to risk for their faith.

When his training exercise becomes an attack, Dumphey flees to the forest with a target on his back. Away from the castle, Dumphey finds new opportunities to help the poor, but he can no longer protect his younger brother.

With Dumphey in hiding, Noel must learn how to follow God on his own in the midst of corruption. He wants to live in peace, but obedience may require him to sacrifice his safety.

As Lord Feroci rises in power, doing what’s right could cost the brothers their lives.

Protecting the Poor is a clean, Christian young adult retelling of Robin Hood with no magic or romance.
