Overview

“Listen to the teachings of a wise man. You may not understand all he says but you will surely have nourishment for the future. Be positive and plan for success.

Overview

“Listen to the teachings of a wise man. You may not understand all he says but you will surely have nourishment for the future. Be positive and plan for success. Failure to plan is to plan for failure. Worry not at what came before but only prepare yourselves for that which is ahead.” (Pika’Al 10:1-5, The Scriptures of Al’Zaneed)

Xannu tells the story of Terry West, a twelve-year-old English boy, who travels to an alternate world using rune coins that he discovered while digging for old bottles. In his other parallel life he is an eighteen-year-old soldier, Teern Truthbringer, who is tasked with finding the Xannu - ‘he who will lead the people into deliverance’. The book’s accompanying scriptures, Pika’Al (The Prophecy) by the ancient prophet Al’Zaneed, provide a history, backdrop and set of clues. The book is really two stories in one, as Terry switches between his two existences. Leading a journey of discovery in one land, and remaining an integral part of his circle of friends in another, leads to many dilemmas. How will he balance the two lives he leads, solve two sets of problems, and understand the lessons he receives from both? Only time will tell. But time is something he doesn’t have too much of as everything is unfolding in ways that he could never have imagined! Xannu – The Prophecy is the first in a five-book series entitled ‘The Southern Lands’, which chronicles numerous trials and adventures on a journey that is limited only by our imaginations.

Meet the Author

Writing under the pen name of Paul Dorset (real name John Cox), Xannu is my first series of full-length novels. I have been writing for many years and some of my early works were published in ‘teen advice columns’. I have also had many articles published, mostly in the technical field of Computing.

I currently live in the north-west pacific city of Seattle but have traveled the globe extensively and worked many times with teens and youth groups. It is this background combined with a vivid imagination that has enabled me to weave a tapestry of magic into a complete novel. The Southern Lands series of books is aimed at youngsters of ten years and up, but the storyline is more than exciting enough to keep adults turning pages as the story unfolds.

    Great read!!

    Really enjoyed reading this book and couldn't wait to read the next one. This book was really easy to get lost in as you watch the characters grow. Terry's adventures as Teern in the Southern Lands is a definite must read. Follow him as he finds the Xannu and travels the lands with Mother Maria, Selene, Matthew, and many other great characters!
