There’s a legend in the Eternal Dimension about a King. 

One who will rule all the dimensions, bringing them together into one perfect place for everyone to live. It’s said the King of the Eternal Dimension will be called the “name above all names.” No-one knows where this legend came from, but many have theories and tell stories of ancient magic and wisdom. 

Some say the legend was passed through the royal family line to Kana, Hikaru and Seirei. Of course, some think it was all made up and passed around in campfire stories. Still others tell of a far stranger tale. 

To the warriors who serve Kana, Hikaru and Seirei, the legend is a fun pastime, a spooky story to tell at night around a fire; but Kana and her siblings know the truth. They don’t talk about it openly, but the siblings hear the words clearly. Sometimes to them it sounds like a call to action, but often it feels like a warning; like a darkness calling them out, taunting them to war.

  • I really enjoyed John’s workshop because he made it fun and lively by getting us to predict the characters personality. He also asked us to create our own characters. He put us into groups and we did activities together. His book was absolutely amazing.

  • “This was an incredibly valuable interactive workshop, and I personally enjoyed the sessions. The materials were outstanding, your teaching is clear, beautifully illustrated naturally, and nicely idiosyncratic. I also really appreciated hearing about your creative process – the journey you have been on in writing this book and I am sure this will resonate with the students about the power of resilience. Thanks again for coming to share with us at TTS.”

  • “Hikaru is a great series of stories written in an informal, chatty way ideal for children and teens. It is written in a fictional fantasy style and explores the biblical narrative in both subtle and more obvious ways, which opens the door to conversation and exploration of the themes the book raises. It is a great resource for Christians and those with no faith background at all. Hikaru can be read on your own, explored in a group and even used in school. John excels again in his ability to create captivating stories that hold the audience so well. I highly recommend it.”
