The Young Shall Inherit follows the path of three young people on their journey to discover themselves and, in the offing, discover more than they had anticipated. Young adults facing a challenging beginning to their independence and revealing their heroic endeavor to achieve the best ending.
They meet coincidentally but seem driven by the urging of mysterious voices within their dreams prompting them to do so. Eventually, they learned they are the focal point on which others will depend to help save their world Narhtrae from the horrible outcome of war, driven by hatred of an evil being - Baalsa'n - and that Aerolan, their home, is the first to be attacked.
They must prepare themselves without knowledge of what they need and unaware of the necessary information and skills to combat this eventuality. It is not an easy task and their adventures, along the way, often prove hazardous to them and those around them.
Larry W. Crow has owned a bookstore, collects first editions and worked in computer technology for several years. But he always desired to 'write' within his own personal interest for 'speculative fiction'. He is an avid reader of this genre (both fantasy and sci-fi) and used those hours to provide an understanding of how to present stories of people in unique environments. Writing is accomplished by understanding your characters. This story is his first published story.
Jennifer L. Ricks is a voracious reader of 'speculative fiction' and, when asked, wanted to contribute to the outcome of a story with her own experience and understanding. She had a positive influence and contributed greatly to the content and flow of the story because of this strong background. This is also her first published story.
