Definitely inspired by, but in no way a retelling, of the Book of Esther, this story takes place on the Planet of Perac where for centuries the race of Artisans has been shaping the culture through art and prophecy. Recent developments however have caused an increase of distrust and prejudice against the Artisans and their craft. On the brink of war with their mortal enemies, a grand underground prophecy is developing that could be the key to the security of all Perac. When Esther learns of the plot against the king as well as a shocking secret about herself, will she be able to unravel the web of deception in time to stop the genocide of an entire race of people?

Poor Charlie lives in a small town where every inhabitant believes with every fiber of their being that kicking him in family jewels brings good luck.

That is until the new girl at school makes him a proposition that he just can’t refuse.

My own personal journey through recovery led me not only to a revival of my faith, but to a realization of the importance of the tenets of Christianity as understood at the time of the Reformation. This is a book for those who struggle with anything in a habitual or compulsive way, for those who struggle with understanding how sin can continue to be a life-altering factor in the life of one who follows Christ, and for their friends and families who might be wondering if they’ve gone and joined a cult.
