Awakening the Light: A Young Adult Coming of Age Epic Fantasy Adventure (The Stronghold of Enjanan Book 1)
by Natasha Woodcraft
✨ What It’s About
Awakening the Light is first in a fantasy series called The Stronghold of Enjanan. My heart for this series is to create a space where relationship with Jesus is accessible (hence writing in allegory) but also very real. My characters live in a different world but they go through stuff we go through, and must learn how to step into relationship with their Creator and draw on God’s strength to face the battle. The entire world spins around the light and is a light vs darkness metaphor for our times. While Jesus isn’t mentioned by name, He is literally the center of their world!
👥Who is this Book For?
Primarily Teen/Young Adults
🌅 The Inspiration Behind the Book
It is very loosely an allegory of a Noah’s ark, where the creator chooses one family as a remnant when the world is descending to chaos. Jesus said “I am the Light of the World” but we can choose whether to step into that light or remain in the darkness.
“But the one who hates his brother or sister is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he’s going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” (1 John 2:11) sums up what’s happening in the world, but “Happy are the people who know the joyful shout – Lord – they walk in the light from your face. ”(Psalms 89:15)
