MY BOOKS AT A GLANCE
For generations, the kingdom of Averose has been stripped of magic, while its rival, Tamaria, guards the secret of the Thaumas—warriors who wield elemental power drawn from the towering Crimson Spire. Bound by an uneasy truce, both kingdoms stand on the brink of war, and five lives will determine the fate of the realm.
Have you ever felt the weight of needing to be more—more patient, more loving, more disciplined, more forgiving? In a world that constantly pushes self-improvement, the pressure to strive can feel overwhelming. But what if the key to true growth isn't found in self-help but in surrender?
In The Need to Be More, you'll discover a powerful truth: Christ is already more. He is more patient, more kind, more faithful, and more loving than we could ever be on our own. This book is not about trying harder or achieving personal greatness—it's about allowing Christ to transform you from the inside out.
In this harrowing sequel to The Crimson Spire, the kingdoms of Tamaria and Averose are thrust into conflict. As war looms, kings fall, loyalties fracture, and ancient enemies rise beneath new banners.
Continuing the epic tale beneath the light of the Crimson Spire, The Haunted Throne unleashes a reckoning upon the world of Emelda—one born of prophecy, betrayal, and blood.
As the flames of war spread, all eyes turn to the Haunted Throne of Averose… and the dark future it could bring about.
