Heart of a Bowman Synopsis
RISING FROM THE ENDLESS SEA is the Vertical Horizon, a massive rock spire holding four tiers of kingdoms. Four Truth Stones, one for each of the spire's interdependent tierdoms, help maintain a delicate power balance. But when a stone is stolen, the Spire is plunged into war.
Seventeen-year-old Princess Aratess of Ardenia is destined for the shallow life of the royal court-and an arranged marriage to a selfish prince-but she longs to serve her people in a different way. For years, she's practiced archery in secret, and when the chance arrives, she matches her talents against Colt, an elite King's Bowman.
Fiercely loyal to the crown, twenty-year-old Colt questions how his mother's people, the Reyjik, could betray the Realm. He also questions the judgment-though not the skills-of the fiery young woman who has inserted herself into his mission. Tess keeps her identity a secret, knowing Colt would forbid his princess from risking her life. Colt, meanwhile, strives to keep a secret of his own: his growing feelings for Tess.
As Reyjik overrun Costair's capital, Colt and Tess escape skyward to warn the King of Ardenia and mount a counterattack. Desperate, they enlist the help of Deacon, Colt's estranged childhood friend and a lighter-than-aircraft pirate. Will Colt, Tess, Deacon, and a motley crew of pirates prove enough to stave off invasion and turn the tide of war?

Meet Jil Koller
When Jil Koller isn’t homeschooling or helping to run the children’s program at church, she is debating with her fictional characters . . . and losing.
Jil began serving in church when she was twelve years old, and after teaching through the Bible a bazillion times, bringing God’s word to life through storytelling is still her favorite thing to do.
Jil lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband and four kids, where they mountain bike, kayak, cliff jump, and snowboard together. She is a Reading Specialist with a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Education, and Master of Education. She loves to speak at homeschool conferences where she equips and encourages other parents.
Heart of a Bowman, book one of her debut fantasy trilogy, the Vertical Horizon Series, won a 2024 Foundation Award in YA fiction. It is Jil’s greatest hope that her stories would echo the gospel and point readers to Christ.
