The Ethereal Realms

Christopher Eyte, MA 2001

Welcome to the hidden world of The Ethereal Realms! Four adventurous orphans - Pelumi, Kezia, Rory and Lily - reside with cruel Mrs Greep at a care home in Worthing, West Sussex, England. Mr. Dog, an Alsatian, also lives with them and he is famous for enjoying refined food, fighting with his pearl-white teeth and barking at lady dogs.

One day the youngsters see a giant dragonfly craft swoop in off the sea. A strange man jumps off and hurries past. But not before he traps Mr. Dog in a net! He is later seen stealing a diamond from a museum when the young friends visit during an excursion with Abraham Owen, a local tramp. The children and Mr. Dog follow the thief and stow away on board the big dragonfly. They end up in a mysterious world, split into three lands, hidden in the Big Cloud which hovers above Earth.

They later learn that the beautiful Third Realm dominated by Mt Xion, the majestic mountain, is where the Awesome Good Presence resides - the Creator of the Universe. The Second Realm is inhabited by the Jeru, a friendly race who guard the Land of Light against the creatures of the Dark Land on the First Realm, also known as Gehenna.

The children become Celestial Knights after learning about the sacrifice of Godwithus, the Awesome Good Presence in human form. A tremendous battle follows when Ragaar, the troll overlord, plots to become king of the Dark Land. The story ends... well, read The Ethereal Realms - and find out!
