About the Book

Title: The Unending Light Series: Quest of Fire #7 Author: Brett Armstrong Publisher: Expanse Books Release Date: December 16, 2025 Genre: Christian, Epic Fantasy

War has consumed the Lowlands in both Jason and Anargen’s eras. Each teen struggles to keep true to the Quest as the armies led by the dark powers of the Lowlands edge closer to victory. A secret buried in Ordumair can guarantee that evil Monarch Ilyron destroys the Tower of Light Anargen has striven to defend. And Jason’s brother, Dorian, has found an equally powerful weapon in the mysterious land of Jhi. The ancient threat of dragons returning to the Lowlands threatens to plunge the Lowlands into ruin. Losses that leave both teens grieving deeply and an ever-diminishing list of allies means they must be willing to give everything to rescue their world from the looming desolation. But they must face the truth that it is still far too little to win, unless they can hold on till the King’s Day arrives. PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Scrivenings Press | Amazon | BookBub

Guest Post: The Christian story interwoven into the fantasy – What comes first?

For Quest of Fire as a whole, the spiritual components of the story became part of the core fabric of the story pretty early on. It’s not pure allegory like The Pilgrim’s Progress, but it is more directly symbolic in how it represents certain things than say The Lord of the Rings, even if it reads much like that series. For instance, the protagonists joined an ancient order of knights who serve the rightful ruler of the Lowlands (Quest of Fire’s story world), the High King. And he grants Knights armor and a sword emblematic of the spiritual armor of Ephesians 6. Take for instance the spiritsword, analogous to the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). The spiritsword, when wielded by a knight in service to the High King will begin to catch fire on the blade, especially over the lettering engraved into it—divine words from the High King himself. Then the source of the burning blades and Quest of Fire series title is derived from the book of Hebrews where God is described as a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). Not all of the Scriptural influences and allusions are so direct, usually being tied to the organic flow of the story’s events. Situations, many of which with strong corollaries to what anyone would face in life, arise and how the characters handle them—both poorly and rightly—reflect the deeper truth found in Scripture and I pray points people to the Truth (John 14:6). I read about some research a university conducted some years ago that explained the way the brain processes stories is the same as it does lived experiences. To an extent, that means that the stories we read becomes part of who we are as much as what we experience in life. Respecting that sobering consideration, I write stories with the prayer that the story is an enjoyable escape, but more than that, when the reader is done with the book, I want what they’ve faced in the story to help better prepare them to face the trials and situations of the real world. So, the spiritual dimension and substance of The Unending Light is woven into the very fabric as the story.
