Kaanan's Way — Dennis Young

Let me tell you the story as it truly was....

"Hear my words, Audrey as time is brief. The land looks to you, as you are their hope. Know that in the world of mortals there are tasks the gods cannot achieve, and call upon those of faith and trust to become their voices. You are my Voice. You are my Messenger. Your strength will be theirs and your words will be heard, tho' you must be the willing implement of my justice. Else all will fail and the land will be lost."

With these words, Audrey Vincent, Champion of the Church of Jhad, is chosen to battle the Shadow Horde in the Kingdom of the Sun. The goddess choosing Audrey is not of her religion however, but instead Kaanan, patron saint of the Church of the Rising Star, far to the south in Ardwel.

As Audrey is targeted by assassins, an ancient enemy of elves and men, not seen for years, becomes a player.

How will Audrey's task be viewed by her own religious leaders? Will she be cast out, though her mission is to save the land?
