by Tyrean Martinson

Champion in the Darkness Clara is younger than most trainees, but she is ready to hold a Sword Master's blade. While visions and ancient prophecies stand in her way, they also offer a destiny unlike any other. Clara is aided by a haunted mentor, Stelia, whose knowledge of their enemy Kalidess is both a bane and a blessing. As evil threatens their land, Clara and Stelia must find the strength to overcome the darkness! Reviews for the First "There was so much that I loved about “Champion in the Darkness” including its well-paced plot, inspiring stories of redemption, interesting characters, and fantastical creatures. But what I loved the most about this book is that it centers on Clara, a teen-aged girl who receives a calling to become her people's champion. In the process she experiences incredible personal loss and struggles with her own faith, yet continues to be the strong hero that her people need. I loved the fact that men and women are both sword-masters in this society and that the fact that the people's champion is a woman is accepted without question. It's great to see books with strong female characters, especially YA books.This was a great read and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series." - ELLEN JACOBSEN, AUTHOR "'Champion in the Darkness' is YA fantasy/Christian fiction, and while the religious side was evident, it never overwhelmed the story. I appreciated how Martinson not only showed people displaying faith when times were easy, but how she explored loss of faith when times were hard, and how different people coped with doubt, anger, and fear." - A. MCCALL, AUTHOR "I strongly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read! You don't have to be Christian to enjoy this novel...you just have to have a love for good stories." - HANNAH HEATH, AUTHOR Clara is an admirable character with her struggles of inadequacy and faith. Though at times she seems wise for her age, she is portrayed realistically as a young woman with a grand destiny thrust upon her. My favorite character other than the griffins is Stelia. I'd love to learn more about her and his past. As for Kalidess, she is a villain you can thoroughly loathe." - CHRISTINE RAINS, AUTHOR
