Since arriving in
Effram, Cantor’s thoughts had skittered from one surprising idea to another.
With so much information to process, he hadn’t latched on to this wordless
communication with him at the farm was not so extraordinary. Perhaps it meant
nothing. He hoped it meant nothing. It didn’t mean he would be stuck with this
buffoon of a dragon. As soon as they finished this rescue, he’d make some
excuse and detach himself from this motely crew, the whimsical girl, the
know-it-all healer, and the boorish dragon. Their adventure invigorated his
heartbeat, and this realm walker was nothing like he’d expected. Ahma and Odem
had never mentioned daring rescues perpetrated under the noses of a region’s
lawful, albeit corrupt, authorities.

Summary: Cantor’s been training to be a
realm walker his whole life and the day has finally come! He can’t wait! He’s
been attempting to sneak in to portals on his own for a while now. His two
mentors have spent hours giving him all kinds of lessons. From the first moment
he sets foot into a new realm though nothing goes as he expected! The first
dragon he meets is determined to be his constant but he’s clumsy, has a pet cat
and is a bit strange. The first realm walker he meets is a young girl with a
flair for fashion, a head full of knowledge, and a fascination for all kinds of
skills. If all these odd companions weren’t enough, it seems the council itself
is corrupt and can’t be trusted! So what on earth is Cantor supposed to do now?
Everything he thought he knew is now in question and the ones he would normally
turn to for answers are missing!
Notes: The first in the Realm Walkers
series, One Realm Beyond introduces a new world with Primen representing the
Ultimate Being, Primen Warriors as angel type figures, realm walkers as the
ones supposed to protect and help the people and the council as the ones
supposed to lead and guide the realm walkers in protecting the people. This
story deals with the young realm walkers seeking to figure out what Primen
expects of them and how they can learn to serve and trust Him. It also deals a
bit with judging by mere appearance. Not all the characters are what they first
seem.

Reviewer: J:-)mi
Psalm 37:4-9 – Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you
the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in
him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteousness shine like the
dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not
fret when men succeed in their ways, when they
carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger
and turn from wrath; do not fret--it leads only to evil. For
evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in
the LORD will inherit the land.
