Taken in as an indentured servant when he was young, Malchus is devoted to his master, Joseph Caiaphas, the High Priest of Israel. Like his master, Malchus is greatly disturbed by Jesus, the renegade rabbi from Nazareth. As the rabbi's influence grows, Caiaphas determines his presence is a threat that must be done away with. When tensions reach their peak at Passover, Temple guards are dispatched to arrest the teacher and Malchus is directed to accompany them. Proud to help bring about the troublesome rabbi's end, Malchus eagerly heads to Gethsemane with the guard. But there in the garden, Malchus is challenged in one dark desperate moment to face a truth he never believed possible.A portion of the sale from each book will be donated to The International Justice Mission; a Christian organization that battles against human trafficking and other injustices across the globe.

Time and again, the children from Knight's Castle have longed for another magic adventure. But you can't find magic just anywhere. It doesn't just grow like grass. It requires the right place and the right time— Or thyme, as the case may be. For at Mrs. Whiton's house, magic grows wild as the fragrant banks of thyme in her garden. Eliza insists that time doesn't grow, it flies—yet growing in the garden is olden time, future time, and common time. Or so says the Natterjack, the odd toadlike creature who presides over the garden and accompanies the kids on a series of perilous, hilarious, always unpredictable adventures. "Anything can happen," the Natterjack says with a wink, "when you have all the time in the world."

Prague, 1610Ludmila Novakova--Mila--has barely set foot outside Prague Castle in her seventeen years. But with the choice between braving the bandits and wolves of Bohemia's uneasy roads or being married off to a disgusting old baron, she's taken what she can carry and fled. Escape won't be easy. Even Mila has heard the rumors of a rebellion coming against the court. The peasants are hungry. The king hasn't been seen in months. Mila's father, the High Chancellor, is well known and well hated. But Mila can't sit behind a stone wall and let fear force her into a life of silk gowns and certain misery. Her mother's death has taught her that much. She has one ally: Marc, the son of the blacksmith. A commoner, a Protestant--and perhaps a traitor, too. But the farther she gets from the castle, the more lies she uncovers, unraveling everything she thought she knew. And the harder it is to tell friend from enemy--and wrong from right . . .
