In a land where honor is everything and the wisdom of the ancients guides the way, the
Sacred Kingdom stands on the brink of its greatest trial. A prophetic vision foretelling
both glory and darkness sets the stage for a journey that will test the very fabric of the
kingdom's unity.
Emperor Yasunari, burdened with the weight of the prophecy, must navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue and spiritual doubt. The samurai, led by the resolute Shinmaru, face challenges that will push them to their limits, as they struggle to uphold the sacred teachings in a time of turmoil.
Amidst the growing tension, scholars like Soramaru and Aiko seek answers in forgotten
scrolls, uncovering secrets that could either save or doom the kingdom. Meanwhile, the
rogue Raijiro, once consumed by ambition, embarks on a path of redemption, hoping to
atone for his past.
As the kingdom teeters on the edge of war and chaos, the people must find strength in
their faith and unity in their purpose. The teachings of the Book of Heaven, intertwined
with the ancient wisdom of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, offer a beacon of hope—but only if they are heeded.
The Trials of Unity is a tale of courage, redemption, and the enduring power of faith.
In a world where the lines between right and wrong blur, the characters must find their way through darkness, guided by the light of the sacred teachings. Will the Sacred Kingdom rise above its trials, or will it fall into the shadows of its past?
Discover a story of timeless wisdom, where the battles fought within are as fierce as
those waged with the sword.

Meet The Author
D. Scott Lofthouse has spent a lifetime in service — to his country, his community, and the ideals that shape the human spirit. A retired law enforcement officer and military
veteran, he draws upon nearly three decades of experience in leadership, investigation, and teaching to craft stories that explore the timeless struggle between light and darkness, faith and fear, honor and ambition.
From the busy streets of Anchorage to the quiet majesty of the Utah mountains, D. Scott’s journey has been one of purpose and reflection. His years in the U.S. Air Force and the Anchorage Police Department taught him that true courage is often quiet, and that unity, compassion, and truth are the foundations of every lasting peace.
Now an author and educator, he continues that mission through writing — weaving lessons of service, sacrifice, and redemption into The Chronicles of the Sacred Kingdom series, beginning with The Trials of Unity.
A devoted father and grandfather, D. Scott finds his greatest inspiration in faith, family, and the enduring power of story to heal, to teach, and to bring people together.
