Opis

As the newest and youngest member of the King's Guard, Sir Noble Heart has excelled in his training and come to love his new way of life in the peaceful kingdom. It comes as a shock to all one day when news suddenly arrives in Caernarfon that an army is marching toward them to make war. King Stephen refuses to believe his old friend the Duke of Conwy would turn against him and, despite his council's warnings, he delays taking action in order to find out the truth of the matter. Knowing no one would ever suspect a lad as young as he to be a spy, Noble volunteers to meet the advancing army and look for answers. Noble has gained the respect of both king and kingsmen, and consequently is sent to discover who is actually behind the coming assault and why.

Noble sets out for Conwy with his friend, the king's stable boy, Jamie. Posing as simple peasant boys out for a hunt, it does not take them long to encounter the army-and danger, as well. If they are found out to be spies, it will go very badly for them-very badly indeed. What is the secret hidden in the heart of the army camp? And friend or foe-who is the strange girl they literally stumble upon? Who can he trust? Noble begins to realize that he is searching for not only answers, but a way to stop the war altogether

"Quest for the Kingdom," the second volume in the Noble Heart series, reunites us with Sir Noble Heart, formerly known as Noble Talbot, a simple country lad who has unexpectedly become one of the king's falconers. His courage, loyalty and heroism in rescuing King Stephen's little son from kidnappers has led the king to reward him even further with his loftiest dream-knighthood. Noble's journey to maturity continues throughout the series of books as he seeks to follow and trust God through every test and trial that comes his way. The stories are not only entertaining and exciting, full of adventure and mystery-but they are encouraging, as well, meant to inspire and influence young people in their own life journeys.

Parents can expect good, wholesome literature in the Noble Heart series-upholding godly values without excessive violence, bad language, the occult, immoral conduct or disobedience to authority. Whether read alone or as a family, these books will uplift and nurture all.
