A young noble couple married in secret, despite her father's other plans. The events that followed would change their lives forever, for the Most High would intervene and choose them for a mission in the distant north, in a land that was strange and different from everything they had known growing up, a land under the sway of dark forces beyond the young couple's comprehension. The Dark Council is first book in the series. It is Christian fantasy but it is not to be used instead of the Bible or other religious texts. It is a work of fiction! Novel is fast paced and full of action. It has mild innuendos in a few places that could be percieved as mildly sexual by some readers.
