From the back cover: Darkness is spreading through Zoura. Beyond the borders of the heathlands, innocent animals are being turned into monsters, and good men into pawns of the Dark One. Father has vanished after joining the Mighty Mercenaries and mother has gone missing in search of him. Alone on the farm, twelve-year-old Lauren and her brave little brothers, Aiden and Ethan, must guard the Tower of Light that will guide both parents home. But when a hooded stranger is caught trespassing the farm, and a new bishop claims the church, confusion pervades their close-knit community. Will the children be able to recognize who is a threat to the Tower and who is there to help them protect it? With little else but the aid of a trio of blessed pets, three mysterious weapons, and their growing faith, Lauren, Aiden, and Ethan find it is up to them to stop the agents of The Dark One from putting out the Light and dooming the heathlands to Darkness."...The Heathlands is a vivid, American frontierlike setting, marking it as unusual in the fantasy genre...Brokken's series opener effectively focuses on each of the three children in turn, offering rich details ... intended to distinguish them as good Christian role models, and the earnest tale is very much written for devout Christians." - Kirkus Reviews Fans of Little House on the Prairie will feel at home in the series' classic farmstead setting, and the sincerity of the children's love for one another- nurtured by the example of their parents-will bring a smile to readers and listeners of all ages.
