The Terebinth Stump (The Illyan-ara Sagas)

It is the year 734 BC, and the world stands in awe of the mighty Assyrian empire as it engulfs smaller kingdoms and subjugates its peoples. The fragile northern kingdom of Israel is no exception with its inept kings and unending intrigues. Commander Joash, and later his son, Mishael, know that their call to duty is a call to sacrifice at a time when evil is lauded and the reward for faithfulness is death.Yet, they hold a greater secret. A surprise encounter with a stranger from a land that he had never heard of has changed Joash’s life and destiny forever. What mystery does the land of Illyan-ara hold? Who are the men so desperate to get to this land that they would resort to the most depraved means to achieve their goal, unconcerned for those they hurt along their path? How does one face an adversary one knows nothing about? Will they too be crushed by the “same grinding wheel of destruction” in their seemingly impossible journey to set things aright and ensure the safety of those dear to them?But there are greater questions that haunt them. How does one know when to do the right thing in such times? Have they been indecisive to their loss, and the detriment of those who depended on them? And ultimately, did God fail them and his people? Will the black clouds of despair completely undo them before the enemy does?
