The Battle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959099239)

When will the final battle begin? How will the King establish His kingdom?

"A large crowd today," Luxor said.

Zaben nodded. "The largest one yet."

"This could be the foundation of a sizeable army. . . . I am confused, though,"

Luxor said. "'Blessed are the meek' are not words to rally an army."

Zaben smiled. "Welcome to the team. We have our orders, but the King executes on His timetable and according to His ways. He is always more interested in hearts than battle plans."

"Still, there is going to be a battle?"

"Eventually. We know very little."

In The Birth and The Baptism, the first two books in the Cross Intents trilogy, the angel captain Elric keeps the King hidden until He is ready to begin His campaign. In The Battle, Elric must protect the King in full view of the enemy. The great mystery finally unfolds, but not in a way anyone expects. And its impact reaches farther than any could have imagined.
