The Sword in His Hand
(2023)(The first book in the Darcentaria Duology series)
A novel by J J Fischer
*Finalist in the 2022 Realm Awards*
The darkness Outside is nothing compared to the darkness within…
A young woman fleeing the horrors of World War II is astonished to find an undiscovered medieval world when her plane crashes in the Bermuda Triangle. Forced to join forces with a gifted but troubled warrior-prince to survive, El’s knowledge might just be the key to winning their civil war… but how can she share it, when the world she’s stumbled upon is altogether too much like the one she left behind?
A romantic historical fantasy transformation of the epic Ben-Hur, The Darcentaria Duology is a fast-paced, sweeping saga of adventure, betrayal, true love, forgiveness, hope, and sacrifice, about lost innocence and the darkness that dwells in all of us.
The duology has some violence but can be considered clean, with no graphic sexual content or profanity. The second book, The Secret of Fire, ends with a happily-ever-after.
Praise from reviewers for The Darcentaria Duology:
“Wonderfully creative…” — Leticia G.
“I couldn’t put it down…” — Anna J.
“…probably the best Christian fantasy book I’ve ever read…” — Kimberly V.
“There are moments… that I think will stay with me for the rest of my life.” — Alysha
“Fast-moving, compelling, and thoroughly engaging…” — Catherine W.
"I honestly don't know how these books are the author's debut novels—in my opinion, they're the quality of a magnus opus...I've had my first taste of J. J. Fischer, and I'm a big fan. I can't wait for her next books!" — Melissa T
