A man of the world follows his curiosity through a mysterious door and finds a place where time stands still. This discovery begins an adventure that teaches him about miracles and covenants of God. He encounters Bathsara, a maiden warrior, whose faith has fallen away and who will embark on a quest to fulfill a miracle. Retrieving a heavenly gift necessary to complete a promise from God will test her skills and lead her to a divine appointment with an old enemy. Will her skills as a fighter help her prevail? Or, will her failing faith cost Bathsara her life? The confusion and cries of battle and the quiet stealth of noble warriors culminate in a heart-stopping confrontation with a dark evil. When Bathsara risks everything in an attempt to rescue the fragile hope of a dying woman, God's plan is revealed in an unexpected way. -Wyatt Webb (Beaverton, Oregon)
