One day, many years ago, my dad had a vivid, captivating dream that lingered in his mind long after he awoke.
It was a story filled with intrigue, passion, and a fight against darkness, resonating deeply with themes of love, loss, and redemption.
Over the years, he would often share snippets of this dream with me, each time igniting a spark of inspiration within my heart.
As I listened to his tales, I couldn't help but feel the weight of his unfulfilled desire to turn this dream into a book. He had always been a storyteller, weaving narratives that could transport you to another world. Yet, life got in the way, and that dream remained just that—a dream. But it never left him, and I could see how it affected him and fueled his passion for storytelling and his love for the written word.
Fast forward to today, and I find myself at a crossroads, seeking my creative outlet.
The idea of transforming my dad's dream into a reality has been a constant companion in my mind.
I decided to honour that dream and bring his vision to life.
I poured my heart and soul into crafting a story that encapsulated what he had envisioned—a tale of a man named Elias, caught in a battle for his life and love, reclaiming what was lost and facing the shadows of his past.
As I embarked on this journey, I felt a profound connection to my dad's dream.
Each chapter I wrote was infused with his spirit and passion, and I could almost hear his voice guiding me along the way.
I wanted this book to be a testament to his imagination, a way for him to see that his dream could transcend the boundaries of sleep and find a place in the world.
Now, as I prepare to share this story with others, I am filled with gratitude and hope.
I hope my dad will read it and feel the love and dedication woven into every page.
I hope others will connect with Elias’s journey and find inspiration in his fight against darkness and his unwavering determination to reclaim his life.
This book is not just a story; it’s a labor of love, a way to honor my father's dreams, and a reminder that dreams can come true if we dare to chase them.
So here’s to dreams, stories waiting to be told, and the bonds that inspire us to bring them to life.
I invite you all to join me on this journey and experience the magic of storytelling that began with one simple dream.
Thank you for being a part of this adventure. I can't wait to share Elias's story with you all!
🌌 When the shadows of my past come knocking, I must decide: confront the demons that took my life or let the woman I love pay the price.
