Beneath the Swirling Sky by Carolyn Leiloglou

What if famous paintings weren’t just pictures—but portals to other parts of the world?

What if your little sister vanished into a painting—and you were the only one who could save her?

What if the art you tried to forget held the key to your family's biggest secret?

Welcome to The Sword and Story Podcast, where we help Christian families find exciting, faith-filled books for their boys. Our mission is to raise strong, courageous warriors for the kingdom of God. Join us on a quest to discover stories that inspire our boys to grow into godly young men.

Our guest author today is Carolyn Leiloglou.
