The Prodigal — who has forsaken his Faith, allegiance to his country, and all ties to his family — finds that he must return home to the New World to fulfill a military mission. His superiors, atheistic Coronans, vying with the King of Cor Jesu for control of the newly discovered territory, have ordered him to locate a girl among the King’s Daughters — an institution designed to increase the number of Catholics in the New World. The Prodigal must not allow the young maiden to impart a secret of vast import… to a very influential family… At all costs, she must be brought back to the Coronans before her message is delivered… Will the King’s Daughter manage to succeed in her quest before being discovered? What will be the outcome of the Prodigal’s mission? Will he ever truly return to God? Find out in the unique Catholic standalone novel, The Prodigal and the King’s Daughter, a tragic tale of betrayal and redemption, by Angela Marie Michaels.

Genre: YA Fiction General and Catholic / Christian Literature; suitable for Readers of all ages (that is, with a suggested starting age of around 12 for boys and girls), this wholesome and enjoyable book takes place in a fictional country set in the real world, loosely inspired by the early settling of such “new worlds” as Canada and the US in North America; it features clean humor, light romance, exciting action (with a few tense moments charged with emotion!), and some violence. Rated Mild+ for violence and use of alcohol only; any violence depicted is never gratuitous or overly graphic, and no worse than that which was endured by the early Christian martyrs or North American Martyrs.
