About the Author



Keith Perrin, is a Christian Author who loves to tell biblical truths in an entertaining imaginative way, without compromising the reality of the scriptures, which will inspire people to discover the Bible and The Lord Jesus Christ for themselves. Growing up he watched tons of super hero cartons, Saturday afternoon science fiction and monster movies, plus reading marvel comics. His day dreaming and wild imagination would have him experience all sorts of adventures. Soon he would put those adventures to paper, drawing and writing stories of all sorts. By far his biggest inspiration was reading the bible and bible stories at a young age that drew him closer in his relationship with this awesome God who worked might miracles and showed redemption and forgiveness to the flawed people in those stories. Flawed people just like himself. Keith’s calling is to love God, share the Gospel to all who would hear and use his talents to produce fruit for the Kingdom of God!


Author Interview with Keith


Q: What inspired you to write this story?

Keith: I was inspired to write this novel by the Holy Spirit for people that will not go to church but will read a fantasy novel. They will look for the usual exciting stuff in fantasy novels but they will also get a dose of biblical truths that will hopefully plant seeds of the truth of Christ in their hearts. This book is a way to give the gospel in an unapologetic non preachy, biblically sound, entertaining way. For the saved and unsaved alike.


Q: Do you have a favorite quote from this book?

Keith: One of my favorite quotes from the book is short and sweet, “why are you crying”. For me, that’s one that resonates for some reason.


Q: If the book was made into a movie, who should play the main characters?

Keith: Actors to play certain characters of this book are Idris Elba, Hugo Weaving, Amanda Seyfried, Tom Hiddelston and more. Especially the first two, they were in my mind as the characters the whole time.


Q: Would you share something about yourself that most readers wouldn’t know?

Keith:Let’s see. One thing most don’t know about me is that I was a backslidden prodigal for a few years, but the love and patience of God, along with the prayers of friends and family helped to bring me back to the fold!


Q: What is your favorite season and why?

Keith: By far my favorite season is the fall. My wife and I love going into the woods and taking photos of the trees and leaves and just everything we can during the fall. Traveling around the country during the fall and experiencing the crisp weather and smelling the burning of leaves and looking at the farms on rolling hills and valleys gets our creative imaginative juices flowing big time.


More from Keith

I am so excited to have readers experience my book. If you are a fantasy, sci-fi, quest or supernatural lover of fiction like myself, this should be a treat, and it is topped off with biblical under and overtones to boot. Creating this world and its characters is fun and rewarding as it helps to bring my imagination alive for others to hopefully experience it in a fun , interesting and thought provoking way.  The Prophet Feneer is faced with many trials on his journey through strange lands. He must rely on the faithful invisible hand of God to guide him through heartache, uncertainty, and terrors that await him. Like all of us he has his faults, doubts and sins he must overcome to complete his assignments. The question is, will he survive long enough against the forces set against him and the inner doubts that plague him to bring the light of God to lands held in the grips of horrific darkness!
