If you are ready, my dear reader—let’s embark! If not—beware; this is a journey into the depths of your very being, an expedition beyond the reach of our sight.

“The author really excels in creating a dark and foreboding atmosphere, and as a reader, you find yourself completely immersed in a setting filled to the brim with tension and dread.

If you’re a fan of fantasy stories that feel like mythological tales, this will be right up your alley!” —Readers’ Favorite
