The Sekou Saga Volume One (The Sekou Saga: A Tale of Balia in Four Parts)

An ancient warrior, Galleo wants nothing more than rest and peace. Instead, the god sent him teenagers…Galleo is an ancient, mystical warrior of the god who doesn’t age and can’t seem to die, and he’s tired. After spending lifetimes rescuing people of the god when they find themselves in danger, he simply wants peace and rest. However, a bishop’s vision sends him on another mission, and he finds himself guardian to an unlikely group of children and teens searching for a missing princess: an innocent farm girl, an arrogant young prince, a worldly merchant’s son who hides great secrets, a toddler with an unknown past, a broken guard, and a strange-looking boy raised in a cage as a circus freak.Galleo is too tired to deal with children, but the god is clearly working as the young people lead him on the most difficult, emotional mission of his life, because their dramas and fears and determination make him care, and he hasn’t cared about anyone in a very long time. Unfortunately, with caring comes pain, and he doesn’t know how he’ll survive if he loses these children to the danger of the rescue of the prince’s sister.So begins an epic four-book journey into dark continents, across the great seas, and over dangerous mountains as Galleo and the children discover their true mission might have nothing to do with a missing princess. Instead, his job is to find homes for the lost young people and rescue anyone they come in contact with, for it seems the god has grand, amazing plans for these teens. Galleo only hopes that somewhere along the line the god chooses to grant him death and peace, the things he has craved for lifetimes.In Dane’s Mountain, having betrayed his friends, Dane the guard is now called on to right his wrongs and locate his missing friend, and he leads the group back to his home, a dangerous mountain filled with enemies. His friends no longer trust him, and he deserves that. What he doesn’t deserve is their forgiveness and concern, and he is determined to keep them safe and be worthy of their misplaced trust.Friendship, trust, and faith have to come together to get the children and their guardian off the mountain and back to the task of finding safe homes for all of them. Along the way they rescue souls and discover their own strengths, for each has a role to play in this drama of the god. For the first time, deep in the dangerous heart of the mountain, Galleo discovers the first hints to his origins, but it’s of no value if they don’t survive to find more.Chessa’s Rescue and Dane’s Mountain are the first two books of the Sekou Saga, a Tale of Balia in Four Parts.
