ABOUT THE BOOK: What if it took the loss of everything you loved
for you to become whom you were meant to be? An ancient Prophecy is
fulfilled as Daniel, the Miracle, is found and trained by the Light
and is then led to discover the sacrifices necessary for his
success in the growing battle against the Dark. Miraden, Master
Magician and Enchanter under the direction of the Creators of the
Realms of the Crystal Orb, finds a boy pure of heart and mind. The
ancient Prophecy is fulfilled in Daniel, the miracle boy, as he
learns and is guided at the Master's side. His inherent powers help
to heal the scars that the Dark has left behind, recover a stolen
and bewitched princess, and fight a war against the forces led by
Miraden's Dark brother, Tophet. The boy's own ties to his family
are tested and in the final outcome a larger family stands together
around Daniel and all proclaim him to be The Miracle of Mirador. A
Prince on a quest for his betrothed Princess; A Kingdom searching
for its lost daughter - that same princess; An Enchanter seeking
the Miracle of Prophecy promised since the dawn of time who is to
become his apprentice and save the world; A boy growing up wise in
a loving family, seeking friends who will understand and share his
dreams; A Darkness, alive since before the moment of Creation -
before Humans, before Dwarves - seeking supremacy over its eternal
foes: all meet in a climactic conflagration of battles fueled by
secrecy, magic and treachery. The battles center around the heart
of the Realms of the Crystal Orb: the kingdom of Mirador. How the
Prince, Princess, Enchanter and Dark Wizard are aided or vanquished
by the Miracle forms the center of "The Miracle of Mirador." ABOUT
THE SERIES: Daniel Light and the Children of the Orb SERIES
Thirteen novels of mystery and magic By C. Michael Perry Youth, in
a world and a time that are faraway, learn how to fulfill the
demands of the prophecy that are placed on their shoulders. It is a
time and place of dragons and magic and other creatures beyond our
ken - upon which the Darkness is constantly encroaching. From
Creation to Renewal this is the story of a planet. Not our planet,
but it could be. From first to last it is a journey of duties, of
wants, of needs; and of a doubt - that reluctance that takes each
of us from the carefree levels of our childhood through adolescence
to adulthood. A journey that includes the discoveries and
sacrifices each of us must make as we seek to return to that place
from whence we came having learned, in whole or in part, what we
were sent here to learn. These stories combine the need for the
fairytales of our childhood with the thirst for knowledge and
adventure that is possessed by the adolescent. These needs we never
seem to outgrow, even as adults. Youth and adult alike can and
should be empowered with the desire and ability to make correct
decisions in their lives; ones that will lead each of us to good,
honest, valuable lives in adulthood. The youths of these stories,
through the careful guidance of their mentoring adults, variously
achieve or fail to reach such empowerment for whatever reason -
internal or external. The Light inside each of us needs be
recognized for what it is; POWER. It should be encouraged and
kindled to full flame to help deflect and defeat the Dark that
surrounds us. Daniel, the Miracle of Mirador, is at the beginning,
the center, and the ending - he is the leader - of our journey.
