Tales of Taelis Series

I wrote the Tales of Taelis series with 11-15 year-olds in mind. When I was that age, I was reading at an adult level an struggling to find good books. I also wanted stories that dealt with tough struggles like doubt, selfishness, and loving those who are hard to love in a realistic and godly manner. 
These books deal with hardship and real issues of the heart in a godly way.
A couple of the books contain very mild romances. This means that physical attraction is not to focus and physical contact is bearly mentioned and never goes beyond saying a married couple kissed.
There is some violence, but nothing overly descriptive. While battles and fights happen, blood and gore are not lingered upon.
The goal of this series is to be safe to hand to young people 11 and up without parents worrying about the content.
This series can be read out of order. Each book stand's alone. 
This is a kingdom fantasy series (meaning no magic, feels like historical fiction)
