Born into royalty and facing deep personal struggles, Orual fiercely challenges the decrees of the gods when her beloved younger sister is demanded as a sacrifice to a shadowy deity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eIn this, his final novel, Lewis reminds us of our own fallibility and the complex, humbling role of a higher power in human lives.
