Set in extreme, fascinating eras of world history and set apart with a most interesting narrator, Pelagius, an angel of God, this series delivers every ounce of suspense, imagination, and great storytelling Sigmund's young fans love. In the first book, The Angel and the Stone, Pelagius humorous and engaging narrative voice introduces us to life in 1364 A.D. and to Brin, the story's protagonist and Raphael's assigned charge. Brin is disregarded among his own people, the gypsies, because his mother is dead and his father was not a gypsy but a man who followed God. This shy and seemingly powerless teen doesn't hold much hope for a future until a hooded stranger presents him with a challenge and also a warning to beware of 'the enemy.' Brin is thrown into a world of adventure and danger that could lead him to his earthly father's love and his heavenly Father's will. Will Brin trust Pelagius' guidance in time to conquer evil with the power of good? And will he discover the strength of God in time to protect his key to survival--the mysterious medallion his father left him. Recommended for ages 9 to 12.
