When a promise at his mother's deathbed gives him the impetus to do just that, he's off to the capital city to bring back the knowledge of Adon Olam. Despite his natural leadership skills, his schemes keep going awry, and lost people keep passing into eternity without hope. How can he ever keep such an impossible promise?Shy Carita Kostan knows the voice of Adon Olam, and she desires nothing more than to follow His calling: "Love. Serve. Pray. Persevere." Yet how can she minister His love to her neighbors when her soul is tormented by their unmet needs and handicapped by her own paralyzing fears?
When the true nature of his promise and her call begin to surface, Kaelan and Carita just might discover how saving the world is entirely different than they imagined . . . if they have the humility and the courage to receive it.

"You do need prayer, more than you know," Carita said softly. "Prayer is the keynote. Prayer isn't the preparation to accomplish the purposes of Adon Olam. It is the accomplishment of His purposes. Great works are done through prayer."
