The Restorer’s Son

(Sword of Lyric Series – Book 2)

   Carol Award Winner for Speculative Fiction

Plunged again into the gray world of Lyric and Hazor, Susan and Mark search frantically for their teenage son, Jake, as all signs hint that a trusted ally has betrayed them. Assassins, political intrigue, false leads, and near misses beset their path, which will lead them into the dark prisons of Hazor before the One’s purpose is revealed.

Cast out by those he trusts and preferring to cross swords with the One rather than yield to His will, Kieran flees to enemy Hazor, only to find that the One knows no borders. Pursued by his calling, Kieran finds a boy without a home, a king with burning questions, and a nation torn by darkness. As he embraces the tasks the One has set before him, this new Restorer learns that the One requires his all—perhaps even his life.

ENDORSEMENTS:

“Because of Sharon Hinck, I have fallen in love with a new genre. I admit, the idea of a soccer mom transporting to another world raised my eyebrows, but I had no idea I’d also be transported from my sofa to face epic battles of good and evil, discover people I fell in love with, and find a latent desire to handle a sword! Most of all, The Restorer and The Restorer’s Son encouraged my own spiritual walk, and I returned from the journey a warrior, ready to sing the Verses! The Sword of Lyric series is exactly what Christian fiction should be. Bravo, bravo . . . and more, please!” –Susan May Warren brand-new fantasy aficionado; award-winning author of Reclaiming Nick

“I’ve just returned from the world of Lyric, and I’m dazzled and amazed! Sharon Hinck’s powerful and inventive tale grips you from page one and doesn’t let go. Her characters are made of flesh and blood and human emotion. Her writing crackles with imagination and energy, and there is a spiritual core of truth to The Restorer’s Son that transcends the realm of fantasy. Enter the world of Lyric and see what I mean.” –Jim Denney author of the Timebenders series and Answers to Satisfy the Soul

“I loved this book! Sharon Hinck takes the meaning of being ‘a sojourner in this world but not of it’ to a new dimension. Our heroine returns to Lyric with one goal: finding her son. The new Restorer has one goal: avoiding his calling. Both ask honest questions that plague most Christians in their walk with an all-powerful, all-knowing God. And the
answers come in unexpected ways that satisfy the reader’s thirst for knowing God.” — Donita K. Paul author of DragonSpell, DragonQuest, DragonKnight, and DragonFire

“A triumph! In this new series, Hinck not only has blended God’s might with her imagination but also gives readers insight into the power of praise and the Word of God. While turning the pages of these books night after night, I often found myself pausing to pray and repeat the songs and verses of the people of the clans, the people of the verses. On more than one occasion, I paused to consider the ‘poisons’ affecting my own mind. There’s also enough action for all the guys and tender family moments for the moms. These are great reads for the entire family. I can’t wait for the next one.” –-Marilynn Griffith author of Turquoise and If the Shoe Fits

“Sharon Hinck has done it again! The Restorer’s Son will be especially meaningful to anyone who has ever wrestled with God. This book came into my hands just when I needed it.” – Randy Ingermanson, award-winning author of Oxygen
