is the only answer. Marie, a knight’s daughter, is sent away by her family, a slight she sees as a
cruel abandonment. Her struggle to return transforms her. And Stephen, a fatherless
squire, struggles to master the requirements of knighthood until he is faced with a fateful choice on
the battlefield which could determine his future path.

As encroaching darkness threatens to consume the kingdom, each youth is propelled on a journey

course through danger, heartache, and doubt to find the true king, the only one they believe can
save them from the grip of an evil leader.

About the Author

Author Q&A with DC Moore


Q: How did you come up with the idea for Two Kingdoms?
A: From childhood I wanted to understand what was meant by the "kingdom of God." When I am trying to understand Scripture, sometimes a story comes into my head that helps me. The Middle Ages was a time of kings and kingdoms. It seemed natural to explain the idea to myself in a medieval setting.

Q: How has the Bible influenced Two Kingdoms?
A: The Bible is central to Two Kingdoms. Though there are few direct quotes, there are many allusions to Scripture and events in the Bible that I would have found helpful as a teen attempting to understand the Bible. It is the story I wish I had been able to read when I was a teen.

Q: What do you hope your readers come away with after reading Two Kingdoms?
A: I hope readers come away with a new understanding of their relationship with God and are challenged to spend more time together with Him in His rich and amazing Word. When readers come across something that makes them think "That sounds like something from the Bible," I hope they will look it up.
