Publisher's Synopsis
As the first birthday of the Aegis Islands approaches, newcomer Bill Jabbers challenges the Aegins to be more proactive in the fight against human suffering. Their resolve is immediately put to the test when the young people are asked to travel to Jinja, Uganda to build an orphanage dormitory. As they battle the heat, rain storms and red dust of Uganda, the kids find themselves forming deep attachments with the people of Jinja. Their commitment to help people is also put to the test when they must put themselves in mortal danger to rescue a young Somalian boy and his mother from the rebel army that is hunting them down. After a month, the weary young Aegins return home, hoping for some much needed rest. Instead, they find themselves caught up in the frenzy of Darien's upcoming coronation along with the giddy tourists who have flocked to the Aegis Islands to witness the beautiful young queen claim her crown.
