John White

John Wilson was excited about his thirteenth birthday for two reasons: the first was that he would be greeted at home by his grandmother's delicious cake, and the second was that his grandmother would finally reveal the secret about his parents.

However, with the sudden death of his grandmother, John's birthday will turn into the saddest day he could have imagined. But it will also be the beginning of strange changes. Namely, John's reality will become a completely different dimension, and from an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy he will transform into the miraculous Swordsman, whose appearance will mark the beginning of the fulfillment of ancient prophecies - according to them, the Swordsman will execute the prince of evil spirits and thus drive the Secret of Abomination from Anthropos forever. This is the first novel in the cycle for young people "Anthropos Chronicles", which the author began writing for his own children, at their urging. A few years later, they have become a favorite reading for many teenagers and children. The novel is characterized by an excellent style, extremely imaginative events, unusual and vivid characters and a subtle allegory, which encourages reflection on man's relationship with God and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
