Sydney Morgan is no wimp. A black belt in karate, her defensive moves help keep her tough even when her mom is diagnosed with cancer and her long-lost dad shows up to play nice guy. But when an unexpected gift transports her through space and time to the land of Zarahemla, Syd just might be in over her head.
Accused of being a spy, she has to prove she’s no threat to the locals — including Captain Helaman himself! As war quickly approaches, Helaman calls upon Syd to help his stripling warriors prepare to fight.
Torn between concern for her family and for her new friends, Syd muster her wits, strength, and faith to face the coming battle — but her feelings for chief warrior Tarik put her heart on the line. Who will survive the Lamanites’ fierce onslaught? And will Syd ever make it home again?
I think this book counts as a Tuesday Trivia time traveling book? If not, I am really interested in it! It looks really good!
Interesting book. I found the change of font whenever the narrative changed point of view distracting and difficult to read. Other than that, the story was good.
When I first received this book to review, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. But I was surprised – I couldn’t put it down! It was fantastic! When I finished, I immediately gave it to my hubby to read as well. I can’t wait for the sequel.
