Foundlings (The Peleg Chronicles Book 1)

The Peleg Chronicles, a renowned fantasy series, has garnered significant acclaim. Foundlings, the first book in the series, was awarded the Best Book title from The Old Schoolhouse Magazine for 2010-2011. It also held the #1 position on the Christian Book Distributors' Bestseller list in Historical Fiction during the spring of 2011. Furthermore, the second installment, Paladins, secured a spot in the Top Ten Bestsellers in Christian Fantasy from the same distributor in the winter of 2012.

However, readers should be aware of a critical detail before purchasing these books. Both Foundlings and Paladins end on thrilling cliffhangers. Fortunately, the third and final book, Loresmen, provides a wonderfully satisfying conclusion and epilogue, offering two endings in one. As reviewer Kaleb Haman aptly stated, "A perfect ending to a perfect series!"

The praise for Foundlings, the first book in The Peleg Chronicles, has been overwhelming. As one reader, the Myers family from Florida, shared, "Next to the Narnia series, your book has been the only other book that my kids have begged me to read. My boys remind me several times a day that this is one of their favorite books."

Another reader, Itsthatonegirl, a 31-year-old mother of three, expressed her deep connection with the story, saying, "Foundlings is one of those books that caused everything else in my life to be put on hold so I could finish it. Being that I am a 31-year-old mother of three, not many novels can claim that these days. Foundlings was just that good. It was a story that truly impacted me, challenged me, and deepened my faith. It now holds a place of honor on my bookshelf... I will always cherish it."

The reviewer from Under the Golden Apple Tree went even further, stating, "This book gets not only approval but a standing ovation. Foundlings not only gives you a ride that combats any roller coaster, it gives you a true sense of heroism and family discussions that center on the glory of God's creation and Word."

The story of Foundlings takes place in the Northern realms, circa 2000 B.C., during the days of Peleg, when the world was divided after the flood of Noah and the Tower of Babel. In this land of giants, dragons, and men running from their Creator, two orphans, Thiery and Suzie, find themselves caught up in the machinations of the priests of the dragon, Baal, and the Queen of Heaven, who are seeking sacrifices for their false gods. As wickedness spreads like a plague, a remnant of faithful souls shine in the darkness, fighting for their survival and their faith.

One reader, from the blog "My Life On A Taffy Pull," expressed her profound appreciation, saying, "Can I just say I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for this book! Really, I'm at a loss for the appropriate words to give this book the honor that it's due."

Another reader, a mother of six, shared her initial hesitation but ultimately found herself captivated by the story, stating, "At first, I was a bit hesitant because I am not a giant and dragon type of girl. However, I found myself anxious each night to indulge in the lives of these notorious characters. Such an uplifting reading experience involving courage and faith … A read aloud at its best."

The Peleg Chronicles, with its engaging narrative, captivating characters, and profound themes, has the potential to become a classic series, as noted by the reviewer Mona Lisa, who said, "Mr. Harding has certainly written books that have great potential to become classic pieces of literature. There is excitement with every sentence. You won't want to put the book down, and when you come to the end...you're going to want more!"
