Her work has been compared to 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Her latest book, 'The Victor', is an inspirational historical fiction book - written for ages 12 and up - that is destined to become a classic. Perfect as a home school resource, this spellbinding tale is set apart from other Christian fiction books by her subtle but powerful method of presenting Christian principles embedded in a majestic adventure that is gripping, riveting, and engaging for readers of any age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A benevolent king, his sword of power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A ruthless traitor bent on revenge, and the faithful son who stands in his way with the woman destined to share his throne.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Who shall emerge the victor in this epic battle between good and evil to rule the lives of hapless men?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI was inspired to write this book by famed music artist, Amy Grant\u2019s song, \u2018Fairytale\u2019 as a means to convey the gospel to those who won\u2019t go to church, read the bible, and don\u2019t want to be witnessed to,\u201d Giron stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.freepublicitygroup.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marlayne-Giron-CoverSM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6522\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.freepublicitygroup.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marlayne-Giron-CoverSM.jpg?resize=300%2C458\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.freepublicitygroup.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marlayne-Giron-CoverSM.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.freepublicitygroup.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Marlayne-Giron-CoverSM.jpg?resize=197%2C300&amp;ssl=1 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Readers and reviewers have praised the book. Robert Heath, Founder and Director of Kids for Christ\/USA, stated, \"The Victor is an absolute 'literary masterpiece' that should be required reading in High Schools across the land. In fact, if there was a required reading list for Christians, The Victor would have to be on it.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">NY Time bestselling author Tosca Lee said, \"The Victor is an epic adventure of love, loss, and triumph over evil. Giron\u2019s characters leap off the page into medieval battles, jousts, quests, and romance. Fans of Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and medieval fantasy will not want to miss out on this classic tale!\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Karen Koch, former editor of the Christian Home Educators Association of California Magazine stated, \"I loved this book. The author had me at castles, sword fights, and a gentle romance, but the novel reveals an eternal story of good vs. evil that is much deeper than just what\u2019s on the surface. Middle and high school students (and their parents) will love this account of adventure, drama, betrayal, sacrifice, and ultimate victory.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Kathi Macias, bestselling author of nearly sixty books said, \"Author Marlayne Giron has woven together a fast-paced adventure and a tender love story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, even as they are caught up in the lives of believable characters, both good and evil. The Victor will introduce \u2013 or reintroduce \u2013 readers to the majestic story of the Bible, a story of love, redemption, and victory. Though aimed at high-school aged readers, adults will be captivated by it as well. Highly recommended!\"<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">As noted on Giron's website, a companion lesson plan is available for advanced Language Arts students in upper middle school through high school. The Lesson Plan explores the language and Biblical symbolism of the novel and works especially well for Christian homeschoolers. Because the Christian Bible plays such a powerful role in history and sociology, the book is recommended for non-Christians as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The lesson plan contains a vocabulary list, chapter summary questions, pronunciation guide, guide to allegorical symbolism, short biography about the author, and a bit about the armor that knights and their horses wore during medieval times. End of chapter questions about content are interspersed with ideas for further study, and essay topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Marlayne Giron is available for media interviews.
