Dear Readers,

The few pages you are about to turn encompass more than just verses and rhymes; they are a mirror reflecting diverse facets of our shared living experience. Within these twelve poems, you will encounter narratives that, although nestled in the heart of a fictional realm, echo the struggles, victories, and discoveries of our very real world.

The characters you will meet are not simply figments birthed from the ether of imagination; rather, they serve as extensions of our collective hopes, fears, dreams, and trials. Their unique aspects are a testament to the resilient spirit inherent in all of us, and their tribulations offer a gentle reminder that no journey, no matter how special, is devoid of challenges. Each character, unique in their identity, is bound together by the shared purpose of overcoming darkness, a metaphor that resonates beyond the realm of these pages.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

My hope is that as you traverse through these verses, you find more than just enjoyment. May they serve as a conduit for introspection, inciting questions and kindling courage to seek answers. May you see beyond the surface of the words, delving deeper into their essence, unraveling layers of your own understanding and insights.

As you embark on this journey, remember that while each poem stands alone, they all connect to form a tapestry. More than anything, may you find echoes of your own spirit within these words and recognize your power to stand watch against your own Darkness.

In shared hope and anticipation,

Shan Esca
