What if you discovered that the world you knew was a deception, distorted to mislead your senses?Haiden is pledged to marry a young woman he barely remembers. But what will she recall of a quiet boy from Archos? How will she receive him after so many years? Where will they begin their new life? Can they truly love each other? Before he can answer those questions, destiny takes her from him. To follow her, Haiden must leave behind everything familiar, step through the bloodgate, and enter a dark world unlike his own-a realm of grotesque creatures and their monstrous king. Like The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, The Bloodwasher King: Gate to Lampros is a Christian allegory that invites young adults to challenge their assumptions and boldly embrace their faith. This 187-page novel includes twelve hand-drawn illustrations that bring the story to life. Best suited for readers ages 13 and up, the book contains some character deaths but no gore, strong language, or explicit content.
