   Summary

   Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not
   He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
   Oh Lord, oh Lord, I'm begging you, please
   Don't take that sinner from me
   Oh, don't take that sinner from me
   -Devils Backbone By The Civil Wars
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   Elijah was raised to be a good, God-fearing man. When he lost everything, he held strong to his faith. God had a plan for him, he was sure.

   But when a wild eye Viking with a habit of talking to trees takes a shine to him, Elijah begins to question what that plan is. As he slowly falls in love, those questions turn to fears. Is this some kind of test? Given the choice between a Norse Heathen and God, which should he put his trust in?

   Will he even live long enough to make the choice?
