The Bow of Bronze by Ed Vitagliano

A Parable of the Christian Life

Gallagher Cromwell is a profoundly unhappy young man. His life's course as a blacksmith - in a long line of blacksmiths - seems set, offering a future of wealth and influence. Yet he is restless and frustrated as his relationship with his father, Thomas, remains bitter and tense.

Amid his suffocating life, Gallagher is suddenly confronted by a mysterious figure named Kailbourne, who offers him another sort of life altogether. It is an alternative path fraught with danger, promising to drop the young man into an ongoing war with the terrifying Maroth.

This war is as old as humankind, draped behind everyday life as dark curtains in a banquet hall, nearly unseen at the outer reaches of torchlight. There, in the margins of human existence, the lives of kings and peasants alike are shaped by the persistent conflict.

The journey Kailbourne offers is everything Gallagher could imagine - and nothing he might ultimately want.
