Stephen believes that truly Christian authors will make their stories Christian.At Lorehaven, we often use the name “Christian” for the author, not the story.You might be thinking, Is this Christian fiction? What about being “clean”?.Even more challenging, The Seventh Sun is set in a polytheistic(?) world.Today’s book includes elements like bloodletting and human sacrifice.Lani already appeared on our episode 71, and today she rejoins Fantastical Truth. What if your father died and made you the emperor, and you had to use your own bloodborne power and your empire’s traditional cult of human sacrifices to keep control of your sun-that is, the sun, S-U-N? Then you learn the sun is fading away, and the gods might oppose your new marriage? That’s the story of Lani Forbes’s Mesoamerican-inspired fantasy The Seventh Sun.
