In the Heart of a Princess (The Alliance)

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. A lowly orphan girl feels unworthy of the king’s love, especially when a princess from another land arrives and accentuates Bethany’s commonplace upbringing. When the new princess attracts the king’s attention, Bethany begins to learn what she really wants in life and what she needs to do to get it. While Bethany learns what it means to be a princess on the inside, she also learns that the mysterious princess isn’t all she pretends to be. As the truth is discovered, the fate of the king and of the realm may be up to her alone. Meanwhile, Justus Corden discovers that his future son-in-law might have something to do with the murder of his mentor, General Rolland Longsword. In an attempt to bring the truth to light, he must resort to extreme measures. The seven books of The Alliance series deal with one man’s spiritual journey and his efforts to find the true king. As he attempts to spread the light of God to his people, an ancient evil threatens both his land and Teman, the neighboring realm of righteous believers. The two formerly antagonistic realms must learn to work together to dispel this encroaching evil. Yet a growing number of dissenters believe they might be better off following the stronger, darker power. The race of people who call themselves Rygian become caught in the middle of a struggle between ancient enemies—those who fear God and those who follow this darker power. The Rygians’ own mysterious beginnings may hold the key to their future, if only they can discover who they truly are. Through the lives of the characters, many Christian traits and spiritual truths are exemplified. The Alliance is marked by epic battles, political intrigue, suspense, mystery, and romance.
