Lygora, the first in the Book of the Faithful series, is set in a time when an age of darkness has covered the land. It is prophesied that a new Keeper will emerge to lead the righteous into a new era. Eli is raised in secret until it is time for him to find out his true calling. Lygora, the Keeper of the Book of the last dispensation, has returned to prepare Eli to lead, if the boy chooses that path. The wars in the land-between good and evil- threaten to overrun the hidden town of Forgon as they prayerfully wait for Eli to accept his role as the Keeper of the Book and deliver them from the hands of the wicked. The Myriad, led by Sardanthan and his evil sorceress Findera, will risk all to stop the prophesy from being fulfilled.
