Kelton is a village on the edge. Dangers abroad and conspiracies within threaten the future of this quaint settlement while its intrepid farmers struggle to meet their feudal agricultural quotas. Only the ranger Col—son of Kelton’s secretive ruling matriarch—seeks to uncover the truth about Kelton so he can save it from the predations of the devious Lord Hugh, whose rival town of Algar claims supremacy over Kelton and its people. Mystery follows mystery in this exciting medieval drama—what secrets does Kelton’s ruling lady hold buried deep in her past? Why is Lord Hugh so determined to seize Kelton for himself? Who is the mysterious stranger bringing Col word of imminent danger? And what does Col’s estranged brother Hawk have to do with it all? Set in the 14th-century English countryside during the heyday of feudalism, Children of Pain is a tale of intrigue, family, and redemption, played out against the backdrop of one of England’s most colorful periods.
Paperback $26.95 | Kindle $9.99
“Elizabeth Byran’s debut novel, Children of Pain, reveals an exceptionally gifted writer able to transport readers to enriching historical settings with engaging characters and unique plot development. While reading the original draft, I found myself deeply engrossed and informed by this Medieval tale of timeless conflicts and how they might reveal underlying truth for resolution. Given the dearth of worthy fictional reading for Catholic youth, Bryan promises to fill that breach, now and in the future, as she more hones her innate story telling abilities.” – Patricia Hershwitzky, Ed.S., author of Teaching the City of God in the City of Man: Pursuing Salvation Education and Speaking One’s Soul: Magnifying God’s Word in a Madly Godless World
“Elizabeth Bryan’s Children of Pain is a superb portrayal of life in an English village during the feudal era. I read a lot of historical literature, and Elizabeth’s work stands out for its commitment to recreating medieval English culture with admirable exactitude. Woven around a story of intrigue, political machination, and family drama, Children of Pain superbly captures both the beauty and struggle of medieval life.” – Phillip Campbell, author of The Story of Civilization series
“Children of Pain is a gripping fantasy tale of hope and courage, where the light within overcomes even the deepest shadows.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, author of The Narrative Spirituality of Dante’s Divine Comedy

Elizabeth resides in Florida. Children of Pain, her debut novel, has received praise from veteran Catholic writers.

In a war-torn land where the line between the spiritual and the material is blurred, an ambitious bard named Geoffrey falls out of favor with his powerful superiors and falls into a life of grace, freedom, and fulfillment when he joins the followers of an ancient Lord and embraces their paradoxical path of light and life.”
Geoffrey never expected to lose everything. He was a wildly popular bard, a dedicated subject of the great and prosperous nation of Trastaluche, and a fervent devotee to the Trastalucherian motto, Progress before all. But when a secret mission to root out a family of traitors goes horribly awry, and no one but Geoffrey is left alive, his history of loyalty no longer seems to matter. The Committees need someone to blame for such a disaster, and Geoffrey’s account -that an entire house disappeared before his eyes- is much too far-fetched to save him from being their scapegoat.
But losing everything isn’t always a total loss. At his lowest point, Geoffrey is rescued by a band of shadowy figures whose questionable actions and vague answers leave him both fascinated and terrified. When the leader of the band is revealed to be the very man whose house vanished in front of Geoffrey, the bard must decide between betraying his saviors to regain the favor of a dreadful Lord or rejecting his former allegiances and embracing the Way of Lucherium: a secret path at once mystical and grotesque that allows its followers to bridge the gap between the spiritual and material realms and to harness the fabric of existence itself. As Geoffrey struggles with the torrent of truths and choices that threaten to overwhelm him, he is certain of one thing: either path will lead to suffering, but only one can grant Geoffrey true Light and true Life.
Intimate and epic, action-packed yet deeply contemplative, Christopher J. Rziha’s The Way of Lucherium presents a stunning parable of the soul that reimagines the moral complexities of redemption, friendship, progress, sacrifice, loyalty and grace by asking: what if the realities of grace and sin, of angelic inspiration and demonic possession, of sacraments and cultures of death, were made explicitly visible in our bodies, souls, and relationships? Perfect for young adults and above who seek to immerse themselves in a rich new world of fantasy that illuminates the metaphysical undertones of everyday life, Rziha’s novel combines St. Augustine’s restless heart, J. R. R. Tolkien’s fascination with verse and lore, and The Wingfeather Saga’s emphasis on the transcendent calling of the ordinary person in a tale of subterfuge, conversion, and warfare.

Sammoury, Elias. (June 4, 2025). “Interview with the Author: Christopher Rziha on his New Book, “The Way of Lucherium.” The Locus. Click here to read.
“If you are looking for a book that will only give you pleasure, will not challenge your mind, will not disrupt the lukewarmness in your life…this book is not for you! Inside this novel, you will find darkness and light, joy and pain, hope and despair. You will not find a carefully packaged message but a gripping tale, worthy of reflection and conversation. Crafted by a talented Christian academic and a Benedictine College alumnus, The Way of Lucherium offers a masterful depiction of superhuman grace at work in the ordinary tasks and extraordinary feats of life’s journey.” – Stephen D. Minnis, President, Benedictine College
“What if we could see the reality of grace? What if the invisible mystery of God were tangibly manifest before us? This, in many ways, is the subplot of this great work. Before you is a gripping story, full of the drama of conversion, sin, grace, repentance, and forgiveness—with intense internal dialogue and struggle along the way, as well as moments of thrilling action. Christopher Rziha is a deep and well-formed Catholic thinker, and he “incarnates” his Catholic intellectual vision here in the embodiment of narrative. Read to be entertained and to have your mind and heart formed in the Catholic faith, without even realizing it! Highly recommended!” – Dr. Andrew and Sarah Swafford, national speakers and authors of Gift and Grit: How Heroic Virtue Can Change Your Life and Relationships
“Good literature tells deep truths, even when it creates a fictional world. That is what Tolkien did masterfully. That is also what Christopher Rziha has done in this enthralling debut novel. Being drawn into the world of Lucherium will plunge you deeper into the natural and supernatural truths of the world we share.” – Edward Mulholland, PhD, Sheridan Chair of Classics at Benedictine College
“In The Way of Lucherium, Christopher offers us a rich tale with great meaning. We can resonate with the questions and doubts of Geoffrey. We can recognize how easy it is to lose the right way in the name of progress and achievement. And yet, we are gifted with the reminder that Light and Life offer boundless grace. That we can become more than we ever thought possible, not through perfect effort, but through sincere faith and perseverance. We, too, can become heroes propelled by the love and power of an Author who writes our stories. Throughout this book, you will find yourself cheering on the good work of characters whose courage in the face of darkness can encourage us during our own dark days.” —Madison Aichele, Executive Director of Calla Press Publishing and author of True Things Last: Why Creative Dreams Matter Even If They Don’t Come True
Christopher J. Rziha completed his undergraduate studies at Benedictine College, earning degrees in philosophy, theology, and Spanish. He earned his MA at Baylor University, where he analyzed the presence and role of marriage in the religious theater of the Spanish Golden Age, and he is currently completing his PhD at the University of Notre Dame. On the way he met and married his amazing wife and welcomed two children. Christopher’s research interests lie at the intersection of mystical and theatrical literature of the Spanish Baroque. More specifically, he is interested in examining how the central teachings and themes of the Spanish mystics were dramatized and popularized through theatrical and poetic genres such as the ‘comedia de santos’ and the ‘auto sacramental,’ and how these works are situated within the larger historical, cultural, and religious contexts of Baroque Spain. As a result, he is especially engaged with scholarship and research on figures such as Lope de Vega, Juan de la Cruz, Teresa de Jesús, José de Valdivielso, and Marcela de san Félix. In addition, Christopher serves as a Solomon Fellow for the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at Notre Dame, an appointment which reflects his interest in the intersection of Catholic intellectual and moral tradition and Hispanic culture.

Dragons in the mountains.
Dragons in the ice.
Dragons on the road.
Dragons are extinct – that’s what Alandis was taught.

In the midst of fighting her own dragons and shielding her people, Alandis doesn’t see the danger lurking in the shadows until it’s too late.
Paperback $14.95 | Kindle $9.99
“In Wingswept: The Dragon and the Dove, Thérèse Judeana creatively describes a powerful journey of self-discovery, hope, and new beginnings. Set in the beautiful land of Lharmeval, Alandis, a young woman known as the “Dove” for her shy and gentle nature, seeks to find a place to belong. Throughout the story, Alandis, struggling with heartbreak and depression, makes friends who help her find her own worth. In this fast-moving tale set in a faraway land, Thérèse Judeana shows us that, even when it seems all hope is lost, love and friendship can come when we least expect it.” – E. G. Enga, author of The Children of the Chapel and the First Christmas
“This story soars higher than the dragons it depicts, taking readers on an emotional and action-filled journey that begins with a concept so universal in the human experience: running away from what hurts us. This latest novel by Therese Judeana does not disappoint!” – Chantal LaFortune, co-author with Grace Bourget of The Song of Elbereth
“Wingswept is a tale of finding worth and purpose even in the midst of despair and apparent failure: the value of life even when one longs to lose it, a story of the journey to grace and love.” – Grace Bourget, author of Ad Maré: Song of the Pleiades and Light of Faith: Poems and Plays
