Synopsis
Alaric doesn't let anyone tell him how to live his dangerous life spent robbing the rich barons and wicked spires who inhabit his medieval world. One day, deep in the forest trails, he encounters a soldier of the King. Far from robbing this formidable knight, Alaric is persuaded to visit the King's castle and discover for himself what a meaningful life looks like.
This new life that unfolds in front of him is filled with adventures, sword fights on flat prairies and steep mountains against powerful enemies, new friends, and even a girl whose smile lingers on his mind.
Review
This book was so good! I loved the characters, the allegories, and the faith content! The way the King was described was beautiful! Jesus was so interwoven throughout it. This book shows multiple people's spiritual journeys. One accepted the King at a young age, another lived as a robber until he met a soldier of the King, another was searching for the Truth and found it in the King. I appreciated how each character's specific gifts came out in the book; such as someone who loves to study: they helped translate and make copies of the King's Book. My favorite character was Akara- a woman soldier in the King's army. She loves horses, and loves her King.
Another thing that was really cool was how important it is to read the King's Book and how that helps you in various aspects of life- especially sword fighting. This book shows the spiritual side of life- specifically spiritual warfare. The author incorporated biblical concepts throughout the entire book.

I highly recommend this book!!! If you loved Pilgrim's Progress, you're sure to love this book!
"Your shield of faith is getting brighter than the day the King issued it to you... Unlike earthly shields, which dull with hard use, the King's shield warms and glows brighter with use. It is a shield of faith, your single greatest protection against the evil forces of this world..." - Warriors of the King
