A Crown of Chains
“A Crown of Chains creatively retells a biblical tale to explore themes of providence, racism, faith, and fidelity.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 27, 2023

Lander’s Legacy
“Lander’s Legacy stacks modern thrills and complex characters on a foundation of biblical what-ifs.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 20, 2023

Prince Caspian
“Pacing starts slow but creature lore grows in C. S. Lewis’s sequel, introducing practical tyrants and talking-beast politics into a Narnian resistance.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 13, 2023

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
“New and returning readers of all ages would do well to seek deeper magic within C. S. Lewis’s faithful classic.”

    I must be blind, but how do I download as a PDF? I must prefer reading in my eBook reading than online/Web Browser. I have had no issues the past couple years so really confused.

      Greetings, J.M.. Nope, you haven’t missed any PDF. Our last PDF issue was the spring 2020 issue. After that, pandemic-related restrictions on events and other general upheaval kept us from arranging each quarterly issue into a PDF version. For the summer 2020 issue, we included that disclaimer. I’ve gone ahead and added that to the fall 2020 and winter 2020 issues.

      As this issue of the cover story notes, we moved to an all-online format starting in January 2021. That’s not to say the print issues won’t return at some point. Watch this space for any news.

        Thank you for the quick reply. I hope you consider adding the PDF option back when you are able. I can nor read comfortably in a web browser. Though I actually prefer ePub, even PDF allows me to use an external reader that I can configure to my liking. I do understand the issues and problems the pandemic has caused all of us.
