While the City Stands

After completing a daring quest to prove his worth, fourteen-year-old Thanfred has been crowned king of the Four Lands. However, he is king in name only, as the evil Faex and their puppet kings still control vast territories.

Eager to reclaim his stolen kingdom, King Thanfred leads a formidable military force against the Faex and their double-crossing mercenaries, the Medjai. Thanfred is strong and wise beyond his years, but the dark magic and cunning of the Faex masters are not to be underestimated.

Through the hardships of war, Thanfred is urged on by the Father Above-a divine, benevolent spirit. Meanwhile, the Faex draw their sinister strength from darkness. The armies of light and darkness clash on land and at sea, and the war comes to a climax at the gates of the great capital, Miklagador.

Book three of the Four Lands series, While the City Stands is a continuation of Thanfred's epic spiritual journey. Though the odds look long, the young king has a powerful spirit looking over him. Does King Thanfred have the wisdom, strength, and faith necessary to win back his rightful kingdom?
