CONTENTS
The story you are about to read begins with some of the events told in Ted’s novel,
The Martyr’s Song
, and then continues with Jan’s incredible tale of betrayal and love that many claim is Ted’s most powerful story to date.
There is no order to the Martyr’s Song novels, you may read any in any order. Each is a stand alone story that in no way depends on the others. Nevertheless, if there is one book we recommend you start with, it is
The Martyr’s Song
, the story that started it all.
For LeeAnn, my wife,
without whose love I
would be only a shadow
of myself. I will never
forget the day you saw heaven.
