“I go in the name of the King!”

Deep into the Vale of Promise ventures Sir Constant, a young knight who desires nothing more than to be in the service of the Great King. Though unworthy of this high calling, he sets forth on the Splendid Way—the perilous road that all who desire to serve the King must take. His faith and valor will be tested, his strength and endurance will be challenged, and his allegiance to the one true King will be proven. A rich allegory wrought with biblical truth.

“I’m Kelly Nash, the best fellow in the place.
Everybody likes me; and I like myself!”

Brimming with mischief and armed with a twinkle in his eyes, Kelly Nash doesn’t have a care in the world. Work at the mill is easy, Grandfather doesn’t tell him what to do, and Kelly is one of the best boys in town (or so he thinks). There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for a good laugh. But Kelly has one major flaw…

Upon reading this powerful book we knew that it would be perfect for our Character in Crisis series. Tip’s, honesty, integrity, and character inspired us not because he was somehow “perfect” but because his struggles were genuine and his responses sincere. He fell, stumbled, and messed up just like the rest of us. Yet, as Mr. Holbrook teaches him, “There is no path so dark that your lamp won’t light you through.”

Inside the castle, a battle rages in the heart of a widowed king. Prince Hubert has proven to be an unworthy heir, but a bold intervention by the king’s most trusted knight could prove to be the cure. In the remote lands of this vast kingdom, far from the walls of the palace, Hugh will learn that the requirement of kingship is servanthood. Journey along with our young hero as he discovers the tools to Christlike character through the biggest crisis of his life!
