Deborah is a normal twelve year old girl who is thrust into an adventure she could not have imagined in even the wildest of her daydreams. Forced to leave her home, her family and everything she has ever known the fate of all mankind will be tied to her own. Travelling with a small and furry companion who has been sent to aid her, Deborah must battle to stop an evil that is sweeping north from the lands to the south. Threatened from every side, can she avert the seemingly inevitable destruction of mankind, or will her people be swallowed up by the darkness that approaches? 'Deborah, A darkness comes,' is a fast moving tale of action and adventure that adults and children alike will love. Though, as with the Chronicles of Narnia, the story stands alone on its own merits, and carries a positive message to any reader regardless of their beliefs, throughout the story Deborah becomes aware of a spiritual reality that is consistent with a mono-theistic world-view, and more specifically Christianity. The first of three instalments, you'll love this magical tale of giants and witches, good versus evil and a young girl's journey through dangers, toils and snares.
