Book Cover & Preview Text
The smell of his wife’s flower garden filled his lungs as Vishnu tends the field. He pauses to wipe the sweat off his brow and sets his gaze towards the lake nearby; there she was, his pregnant wife sitting under a tree, telling stories to their 5 children. As they laugh together she ties a long, glistening white feather to her hair and returns his gaze with a loving smile.
“Papa, Papa!” his children call out in excitement, running to him, giggling and playfully tackling him to the ground.
Vishnu lets out a strong laugh, “Okay, Okay,” as he tries to carry them all. He looks at his wife again…
She is surrounded by darkness, no lake, no tree, no background. With a tearful look on her face, she raises her arm and points to him. Confused, he begins to stand on his feet in an attempt to go to her but his attention is disturbed by the sound of things hitting the ground. He looks down and gasps in horror, his children’s bones still clinging to him, falling apart as he moves away.
Suddenly, he is startled by an evil growling from behind. He turns to see the shadowy images of large beasts slowly moving towards him, ready to pounce…” we have come for the boyyy!”

About the Book
I like to believe that fear is just faith contaminated. So if we fear something enough, the best thing to do is to push right through to the end, knowing that no matter the outcome, it will be the end of the journey and the beginning of a new one. For Vishnu, this was exactly the case. After losing his son to an evil witch, Vishnu fought through endless journeys, never knowing when enough was enough. Until the end of what seemed to be his life was the price he had to pay for his peace of mind.
