Land of Dreams: In Search of the Past

About this book

In a world where myths nestle within the folds of a worn reality, rises "Bayadh" (Whiteness): a boy carrying from his name nothing but a blank page lost from his history. He is no mythical hero out to conquer worlds, but each of us when we find ourselves alone facing a dark road. His story begins with a simple, deep human need: the search for a father — for that severed umbilical cord still binding him to a mysterious, unknown "past." From the apparently calm "Land of Dreams," Bayadh and his companion "Lu'lu'a" (Pearl) are thrown into the heart of a journey of no return. A journey that is not merely covering distances but digging through the layers of oblivion and uncovering hidden faces of those around, where it becomes clear that the greatest dangers of the world lie not in strange creatures but in the closest people to you. Every step they take toward the "Mountain of Darkness" carries a new shock and a greater question: is memory merely a beautiful illusion or a curse that must be escaped? He had believed his enemies were the howling wolves or the unknown lurking behind the horizon. But the truth, as he will discover bitterly, is that the greatest danger may come wearing the face of the one you trust most. The first part of a fantasy adventure about identity, memory, and the price of the truth about where we come from.
