Jess Kanickson wanted to be like his father, a fallen war hero who’d died saving others. Jess eagerly enlisted in the Kendran Army and was chosen for his first mission based more on his father’s reputation than his own skill. The mission was a failure and Jess was captured, and found himself in a labor camp deep in the Mortanian Forest. With no hope of rescue Jess was subjected to abuse and hard labor beyond anything he’d ever experienced, and it tried and tested his faith.
But it was worse even than that. Because the ranking prisoner was a collaborator, and his bunkmate was on the verge of nervous collapse. And, as if it could get any worse, the Mortanians seemed to have stumbled upon some technology not known by the Kendrans. They were plotting something big, and forcing Jess and his fellow prisoners to participate in the downfall of their own country. Would Jess’s faith stand the test?
