A compelling tale of love, battle, and faith, Windborne is set in a land of flying warriors, locked in a seemingly endless conflict over an ever-changing border, a war that has gone on long enough that even the combatants are no longer sure of their goals or the endgame. Wilford is a shy young villager, pulled into the struggle as a cadet, and turned into a vicious killer, the pride of his captains, by the tragedies of war. Saved by people of faith from his hopelessly murderous existence, he re-enters the war, baptized with the Spirit and the desire to end the bloodshed. Besides the obvious enemy across the border, he faces belligerent superiors, traitors in the ranks, and personal loss. Through hard work, faith, loyal friends, his own fighting prowess, and the grace of God, he ascends the ranks, determined to bring a victorious peace.
