Endor

By Erica Nicolay

Endor is a historical coming-of-age novel set in the late 1800s, following a boy whose imagination, faith, and defiance of injustice place him on a collision course with a hidden evil.

Teddy is sent to boarding school by his widowed mother with the hope that discipline and structure will shape him into a good man. Instead, he finds himself imprisoned in a bleak institution ruled by iron gates, enforced conformity, and a headmaster who masks cruelty behind religious authority.

Beneath the school's outward appearance of godliness lies something far darker. Boys who openly express their faith are punished, manipulated, and psychologically broken in an effort to force compliance. Holidays are sabotaged, graduations denied, and freedom withheld indefinitely. What begins as schooling becomes captivity.

As Teddy endures years of suffering, he clings to his faith in God despite relentless pressure to renounce it. When the school refuses to release him, he finds escape through military service-carrying the scars of his past into the horrors of the First World War.

Years later, Teddy returns, no longer a boy but a man determined to confront the institution that tried to destroy him. What follows is a reckoning that exposes corruption, frees the imprisoned, and restores truth to a place built on deception.

Endor is a deeply reflective historical novel exploring faith under persecution, spiritual endurance, corruption of authority, and the courage required to stand for truth when silence is safer.

Ideal for readers of historical fiction, faith-driven novels, allegorical literature, and stories of moral resistance and redemption.
