An Existential Odyssey Begins... Two unlikely companions set out to confront the Wind itself, seeking answers to a riddle at the heart of their lives: One was taught that all things are ordinary, explainable, and mundane--so they move through life with careful steps. The other was taught that all things are extraordinary, magical, and mysterious--so they race through life daringly. When fate brings them together, everything they thought they knew is shattered. Their journey carries them through seasons of change, into encounters with animal and spirit guides whose stories echo the creation myths of Indigenous Peoples around the world. Through trials of fire and water, across vast lands and oceans, they face death, loss, madness, and isolation. Will they endure their dark nights of the soul? Will they remember the dream that was forgotten? “Part fable and part magic--a quest for truth and meaning in the exploration of life and death. Readers will enjoy this philosophical tale’s journey into the unknown.” -Editor’s Note, London Thus begins the Saga of the Five Seasons, with Part 1: A Lie That Came True--formerly titled Tale of Dragonfly.
