Lapidius is the debut novel from our guest, Matthew Runals, a member of the armed services and chaplain who has a great book that can best be described like this :

"Thirteen-year-old Joey is in trouble. His mother can hardly feed him, which-because of his small size-is saying a lot. As war moves closer to their little town, his mother's options for more work are a big fat zero. Desperate, she sends him to a place where he won't starve, Lapidius. Soon after arriving, however, Joey learns that he and the hundreds of other children aren't just charity cases. Lapidius is a prestigious military institute that develops specialized skills for combat. But Lapidius is also a mysterious place where Joey learns that the battle for which they are being trained for is full of magic, malevolence, and monsters. The new students discover a nation found worthy to fight for. "
