The Governess of Greenmere
“Obscure Arthurian and Celtic references blend with biblical imagery and high heroism in this brief yet old-souled story.”
—Lorehaven on Jul 1, 2022

Tilly
“Written in 1986, Frank E. Peretti’s novelette Tilly may feel melodramatic to today’s readers, but remains a tearful tale of brokenness and redemption.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 24, 2022

The Wonderland Trials
“Although indebted to a classic, The Wonderland Trials is inventive and colorful in its own right, abundantly able to charm and to intrigue.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 24, 2022

Rise of the Earthborn
“Societal intrigue plus steampunk flair and a dash of romance help make Emma Buenen’s Rise of the Earthborn a solid extra-biblical adventure.”
—Lorehaven on Jun 17, 2022

Win A Digital Copy of Tosca Lee’s Pandemic Thriller ‘The Line Between’

Lorehaven and Tosca Lee are giving away two digital copies of “The Line Between,” in which one woman fights a pandemic and her own fears.
E. Stephen Burnett on Apr 3, 2020

You’re grounded at home, lest a virus ravaging the planet pose even worse risk to you and your loved ones.

Outside, mindless zombie hordes claw at grocery shelves. They clamor for toilet paper and other comical, meme-worthy items.

When will this end? We don’t know. In our uncertainty, we “revert to our priors” (to quote one podcast pundit). We yell at each other over politics-of-personality–based disagreement. Perhaps this is part of how we cling to our humanity in times of trial.

Still and all, it could be worse.

Two Lorehaven magazine subscribers will win digital copies of Tosca Lee’s pandemic thriller The Line Between.

(Subscribe free here.)

You could be a former cult member, like 22-year-old Wynter Roth.

You could have just escaped this false-religious group into an even more uncertain world.

Oh—and that world could be plunged into pandemic, which doesn’t cause coughing and lung stress, but actual murderous insanity.

… Leaving you to wonder if all those doomsday predictions you grew up hearing had been right all along.

This of course is the premise of Tosca Lee’s thriller The Line Between. Lorehaven magazine reviewed this title:

… Truth glimpses give The Line Between surprising heart-warmth amongst the chill, while its road-trip quest drives fast through mad territory and never once feels bogged down in snowbanks. Even by the finale, we get hints that our heroes have learned that yes, sometimes you must stay preserved from a world gone mad, but for the greater mission of helping others in that world. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote, you can’t simply separate from evil people—not even cultists—in order to avoid evil. That very line between evil and good cuts through every human heart.

More recently, we explored this story (and a few others) in Fantastical Truth podcast episode 8: How Does Pandemic Fiction Help Us Seek God’s Strength in Scary Times?

Well, now author Tosca Lee is helping Lorehaven give away two digital copies of The Line Between.
