The Restorer's Son by Sharon Hinck

The Restorer's Son (The Sword of Lyric Series #2)
Susan and her husband Mark are back in Lyric looking for their teenage son, Jake. This is Book 2 in "The Sword of Lyric" trilogy. Welcome to Lyric, a world where sword's are the norm and guns are forbidden by The One(God).

Jake handles arriving in another world a little better than his mother did in the previous book, "The Restorer." However, he too is caught up in the political and spiritual turmoil going on around him. Thank goodness he finds some people that know his mother, even though the person they describe doesn't sound like the mother he knows. Since when did his mother know how to fight with a sword?

I liked the fact that Jake had a strong spiritual background from health battles in his own world. Even so, he still questioned his faith at times...don't we all. I don't think that Jake and his mother would have made it very well in this different world if they didn't believe in God - I think they would have gone crazy...maybe Susan more than Jake.

While Susan and Mark are looking for Jake, Kieran the new Restorer is fleeing from the One. He wants nothing to do with Him or being the Restorer. Kieran's battle with his faith and God are something that I found very believable. She touched on the loneliness and emptiness we all feel at one time or another.

Do Susan and Mark find their son? Does Kieran learn to believe in the One and his calling to be the Restorer? Read the book. You will be glad you did. And check out this link to the author: http://www.sharonhinck.com/
