Of Nature and Kings is a fantastical tale aimed primarily at readers ages 8–12, but meant to be also enjoyed by gray-bearded men in porch rockers.
Lacter Tibbak is twelve and bored to death with his life. But upon an afternoon, his father’s friend entertains him with a story…and that story turns out to be a briefing for the quandary that Lacter’s family will shortly be swept into. The Tibbak bloodline calls from an unexpected place—indeed, a place no one knows about at all…
…Except the people whom Lacter has always trusted the most. Lacter’s journey to learn who he really is takes him and his family across the Noctial Sea, to a place known only to his father and their closest friends. But even Lacter’s father doesn’t know what they’re going to face when they get there.
Of Nature and Kings deals with Christian family values, and a strong anti-sorcery theme runs throughout the tale—not painting sorcery and magic as myths from which we have nothing to fear, but rather as real evil with destructive consequences. There is also an undercurrent of providence, which is defined by one character as being “Father Above’s destiny for me.” This timeless story of purpose, calling, and reconciliation makes a great family read-aloud!
