## Summary

Daniel Maritz, a Christian Bible teacher and YouTuber, has co-written a biblical fantasy novel with his brother Hernu. “Lightborn: Dawn of Darkness” is intended to offer an alternative to darker entertainment, drawing on biblical themes while exploring a fictional world before the biblical flood.

The story follows Uldako, a slave who searches for truths about his heritage and a conflict linked to an ancient prophecy. Maritz says the saga is meant to speak to present-day culture, and his company, Ruach Entertainment, plans a companion video game. He cites Christian influences including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and says he hopes the game will provide an alternative to violent titles.
