Return From Rysa: Fear and Faith

The battle between light and darkness is no longer hidden. And for Conner, growing up may prove just as dangerous as the forces hunting him.

As Conner enters his teenage years, the encounters that have haunted him since childhood become more intense—and more personal. He knows now that the beings who have watched him all his life are real. Some seek to protect him. Others will stop at nothing to claim him. But as fear tightens its grip, Conner must discover whether faith means being delivered from darkness—or finding the courage to face it.

Far beyond Earth, another struggle is unfolding.

Ektak, once an admiral among the Enesians, has experienced something he never believed possible: the reality of God. Now transformed by that knowledge, he returns to his own people with a message of hope. But on a world shaped by generations of darkness, his testimony carries a terrible price. As opposition grows, Ektak discovers that conversion is only the beginning. Faith must be tested before it can become something stronger.

Meanwhile, JoSeFi continues his own preparation aboard the Ariel, as events surrounding Conner begin moving toward a purpose none of them yet fully understands.

Across two worlds, lives are being changed. Ancient enemies are moving. Miracles and darkness collide, and the choices made now will reach far beyond those who make them.

Fear and faith cannot occupy the same heart forever. Eventually, each of us must decide which one we will follow.

Return From Rysa: Fear and Faith continues the award-winning Return From Rysa series—a story of angels and aliens, agency and opposition, and a God whose children extend across worlds without number.
