Premise of Current Novel

“5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” [John 1:5 NLT]
Two worlds.  One residing in the wakeful World and one embedded within gifted Dreams.  Twenty-one travelers embark on a journey together into a land of unknown perils, mystical stones, and a shunned and abandoned Prophecy about to bring two nations and two competing philosophies onto a battlefield reaching from the highland plains to the precipitous mountain steppes winding downward towards the edge of the world on the other side of a great stone wall and soaring mountain ranges.  Their leader is a man with a secret history and a murderous past that haunts him at every step of the way.  They travel through oppressed lands, haunted forests, abandoned cites and over rugged terrain to find hope in the midst of oppression, safety in the midst of terror, and peace in a land beyond a world filled with mythical monsters both ancient and modern who threaten and hunt them at every turn.  Desperate to disrupt, divide and distract them from their quest to find and restore the broken people whose stories need to be told to find answers to the reasons these particular few travelers have been brought here, at this place, for such a time as this.  Knowledge of an Ancient and Living Text, swirls and surfaces within the mind of the person called to lead them, directing them through each peril they face, attempting to make sense of the symbolism behind each of their experiences and discovering that the One who brought them here, not only created each of them, but Purposed them to be more than what they believed themselves to be, long ago within His Great and Eternal Heart.
