Book Description
What would you do if after devoting yourself to the study of an ancient manuscript for three whole years you found out you might be the one who actually wrote it? Well, penned it, anyway. No adventure is more spellbinding than the epic journey of the mind. You pull on a loose thread and all of a sudden the fabric of reality starts to unravel in front of your eyes. Nothing is certain anymore. Time falters. Life turns into a dance of power, contradiction and change. Reality is so much stranger than magic!
