 “The key was only the beginning. Beyond the gateway, the heart must choose its armor.”
          
          
          
          Welcome back to the Hearts of Light series.
          
          In Book 1, The Key’s Promise Beyond the Last Gateway, we followed Maria, Ana, Carlo, and others as they uncovered a prophecy, a hidden key, and the mystery of the Last Gateway. It was a story of destiny, courage, and faith.
          
          But now, in Book 2: The Armor Awakens, the story goes deeper. 
          
          This isn’t just a continuation.
          This is a spiritual battle, a call to the heart.
          Behind the gateway lies not paradise—but a realm where light and darkness clash, and only those who carry the Armor of God can stand.
          
          Each character in this story will face trials that reflect our own human struggles:
          
          Facing truth
          
          Choosing mercy over revenge
          
          Holding faith in silence
          
          Seeking peace in conflict
          
          Guarding the mind against fear
          
          Speaking words of life
          
          
          And through it all, prayer becomes the unseen power that binds them together.
          
          Yours truly...
