When Lambs of Light pray intensely, the power doesn't just form a halo; it opens a Portal of Light to other worlds. However, the same can be true for Dark Soldiers; their Doors of Despair open to other worlds, and one of them is Earth.The Angel of the Lord warned Reverend Atticus Jordan that the war was coming to Earth, but a warrior would be sent to him to help train an army to hold back the dark. The angel neglected to tell Atticus that Gwen, the warrior, would be pregnant and may not want to fight anymore.Each elder in Atticus' church has faced despair - death, loss, betrayal -- and chosen to live in hope, joy, and grace. They know that the war is coming; they know that they must choose again, for Light or Dark, when Gwen shows up at Morning Creek. Roving bands of looters in black capes and swords catch the attention of Colonel Morgan Forest of the Internal Intelligence Agency who has fought wars his entire life. His trail leads him to Gwen - whom he's met before when her family was assassinated - and Gwen's trail leads him to this radical band of parishioners. He sends in his spy; he knows they have formed a militia. He could stop them; he could destroy their sect with a stroke of his pen. But for Morgan, the shadow-line between darkness and light is not that precise.Comes the Warrior is the first of seven books in the series Portals of Light & Doors of Despair. It has a discussion guide which will be perfect for book clubs.

Laughing Humans are the descendants of a colonizing ship that crashed on the planet Bicanthra III 500 years earlier, and have been raised as animals in a zoo by the indigenous sentient beings of that planet. Their speech has atrophied because of their severe religious belief (one only speaks to praise god), but they laugh, giving rise to their name. They are a strongly female-dominated clan. Hunter Rogue has lived her entire life providing food for her troupe of two dozen Laughing Humans and trying to escape from the zoo where she and her troupe are exhibits. She hates being confined by taboos or walls. She loves to explore and try new things. She longs to be allowed to speak like the Bicanthran gods, to be mated despite her troupe's strict laws on monogamy, and to teach her troupe that they are no longer zoo specimens. Captain Angus McFarlan is one year away from retiring from a military career which confined him with its rules and regulations. In order to keep him from ruining his career in its twilight hours, he is given the dubious honor of rescuing and repatriating the troupe of Laughing Humans. Angus is fierce, dominant, and always in control, until he meets Hunter. Hunter and Angus must lead the Laughing Humans into an existence delightfully different from their previous life. Speech, sex, and equality are all new concepts to which they must adapt.
