Starlight Book 1: The Early Years Prequel to What's Behind the Looking Glass Series - Paperback

by Eric J. Shepherd (Author)

Synopsis: Derrick is a young wizard entrusted with managing the Cross Bone Gate Prison and leading his new companions in the early years of the "What's Behind the Looking Glass" series. However, they soon discover that they are up against dark forces, known as the Night Walkers or Shadow People, attempting to manipulate the Moon Goddess, an oracle of great power, before she awakens and realizes her true potential.

The Moon Goddess and her new friends are set up on a quest to locate the Five Keys of Destiny, which the Gods of all realms have concealed. These are formidable artifacts that can only be wielded by the individual known as the White Solon to defeat those who seek to alter the very fabric of time. They must prevent the maleficent wizard hid Morgan from obtaining both the Five Keys of Destiny and Godhood, as he intends to enslave all of humanity, aided by his minions, such as the Night Walkers and others.

Throughout their journey, they are tested by the Gods themselves and learn that they are not truly alone as they meet the High Elders to protect these realms but of themselves. They found love, adventure, and knowledge about the true purpose of God, as each of their destiny was revealed, by setting the stage long before the White Solon was born.

Autobiography: I was born and raised all over the State of Utah. I grew up in the state foster system due to very bad parents. Despite these hardships, I immersed myself in education, graduating at the top of my classes in high school and college, earning a BA in Computer Science, an AS in Business Management and Culinary Arts, and another degree in Business Management. By age 20, I achieved certification as a chef, setting the stage for a successful career. By 40, I achieved all my goals. Now, I am using my golden years to write about my life experiences to show the world I'm worth something. Despite the lack of family, my journey is one of triumph over adversity, turning what could have been a wasted life into a tale of resilience, education, and culinary excellence.
