About this title

Synopsis

In James' world, immortality is no proof of goodness.

James is a fourteen-year-old shepherd who has been told that if he does his duty, he can keep his friends and family safe. In a land where an immortal giant, Behemoth, and Leviathan are more than myth, James soon realizes that no one is safe unless he discovers whom he can trust.

The boy who once dreamed of adventure may become his country's only hope. Inexperience and impulsive choices lead to chaos as James tries to do the right thing without getting himself or his friends killed in the process.

Spring of Deception is the first book in The Golden King Chronicles. Filled with mystery and adventure, it is a faith-inspired journey through a fantasy world built on Judeo-Christian traditions. Written for teens and adults but safe for children, Spring of Deception draws readers into the lives of relatable characters who seek truth and have their wisdom challenged.
