"A century of peaceful democracy has left Walneyria shortsighted toward its new ruler. History repeats itself, and Walneyria is once again in civil war. When Krisprelli, an heir of the former throne, cheats in an election, he reestablishes the former tyranny of the throne and imprisons anyone who challenges his actions or right to rule. After learning of the election, young Nate Mair forms and leads a rebellion to overthrow the tyrant ruler and restore his beloved country. Haunted by the deaths of war, he finds courage and comfort in the presence of his friends: Freya, a battle strategist; Ava, an engineer of healing serums and weaponized machinery; and Samuel, a trusted friend and advisor. Together, they valiantly face the challenges of war, but none of them are prepared for the blow of betrayal within their own base—one that might just cost them the success of their rebellion."

A Forever Family for Antonio is a beautifully written, wonderfully illustrated book about adoption through the lens of the gospel. This gospel lens allows Antonio's adoption journey to unfold while creatively maintaining God as the center of the story. The combination of the writing and imaginative illustrations gives any parent a foundation to navigate the complex nature of adoption, specifically adoption from the foster care system. Although written with pre-school aged children in mind, this can easily be a conversation starter for older children as well. The goal of the book is to introduce the root cause of adoption (sin's effect on the world) and point to the hope found in God: the hope in His power over sin, His sovereignty, and the gospel. All of this is done with fun illustrations and a story any parent can have fun reading to their child.
