He sought to leave behind a life of pain and misery, but to do so, he had to face the one thing he dreaded most-a confrontation with the dragon that sought to destroy his young life. Christopher must set out on a quest where the very gates of hell are unleashed to stop him. The dragons fear that if he succeeds, their dominion will end. They will stop at nothing to hinder him from finding the very secrets that will enable him to face the beasts of evil and even slay them forever. Bringing in the allegorical excellence of C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia and bringing the invisible realm of the spirit world to life as Frank Peretti has done in This Present Darkness, Ivron G. Butler has taken modern day issues, such as drug and alcohol abuse, juvenile delinquency, counterfeit religion, and faith, and brought them into the fantasy realm of knights and dragons. It is a world where knights are symbolic of Christians and dragons of demonic beings. The world has lost its faith in the Great Planner (God), and needs the star character, Christopher, to find the lost secrets of the armor in order to defeat the mighty dragons who have enslaved the land with dragon worship and the abuse of the dragon gifts of sparkle and ambrosia. Christopher must overcome his own past failures while at the same time hurdle the many obstacles that are thrown at him from the dragons in order to prevent the successful completion of his quest. Along the way, he must abandon a love, make difficult decisions, and wrestle with many bad choices. He acquires some traveling companions along the course of his quest and each one brings their own unique twist to the plot. You will cry with Christopher. You will laugh with him at times. You will get lost with him on his long journey and will most assuredly feel his pain. He is a real person with whom every reader will relate. His quest is not so much different from our own. He struggles with faith, w
