SERIES OVERVIEW:
Youth, in a world and a time that are faraway, learn how to fulfill the demands of the prophecy that are placed on their shoulders. It is a time and place of dragons and magic and other creatures beyond our ken — upon which the Darkness is constantly encroaching.
From Creation to Renewal this is the story of a planet. Not our planet, but it could be. From first to last it is a journey of duties, of wants, of needs; and of a doubt – that reluctance that takes each of us from the carefree levels of our childhood through adolescence to adulthood. A journey that includes the discoveries and sacrifices each of us must make as we seek to return to that place from whence we came having learned, in whole or in part, what we were sent here to learn.
These stories combine the need for the fairytales of our childhood with the thirst for knowledge and adventure that is possessed by the adolescent. These needs we never seem to outgrow, even as adults.
Youth and adult alike can and should be empowered with the desire and ability to make correct decisions in their lives; ones that will lead each of us to good, honest, valuable lives in adulthood. The youths of these stories, through the careful guidance of their mentoring adults, variously achieve or fail to reach such empowerment for whatever reason — internal or external.
The Light inside each of us needs be recognized for what it is; POWER. It should be encouraged and kindled to full flame to help deflect and defeat the Dark that surrounds us.
Daniel, the Miracle of Mirador, is at the beginning, the center, and the ending — he is the leader — of our journey. “And a little child shall lead them.”
