“If you ever feel lost, remember the Sentient Library. Its knowledge wants to be discovered. It attracts the curious. It is a platform from which one can leap into other realities—an ocean that laps against all shores on all possible worlds.”
From Shiya-coqui’s Letter — The Sentient Library.
“If I meet my end in the cataclysms, know that my existence will continue within one of those worlds, and if there is a need, I trust you will know how to find me.
Please set poor Stella free before you cross the Arjena Hills. The Vandrene covet horses and will doubtless try to steal her if you bring her into the Savwain.
We can trust the love that birthed us and know that this source infuses all things; thus, we can search for light within the heart of any loss. Whatever befalls us now, I feel blessed to have found you. May my pride in you and your promise, slim consolation though it might be in these dark days, go with you as you ride into the coming whirlwinds.
Yours eternally,
Shiya-coqui”

The Authors of this Dream
The Edge of the Known Begins!
In The Authors of this Dream, music is more than a passion—it is salvation. Brandon Chane, a troubled guitarist haunted by loss and rage, finds solace in the raw energy of underground rock. Together with his best friend, Tommy—a philosopher armed with Nietzsche and shamanic wisdom—Brandon forms a band determined to transform pain into art and chaos into meaning.
But the journey from the abyss to the stage is fraught with peril. As the band battles inner demons, fractured families, and the lure of self-destruction, Brandon is forced to confront the shadows that threaten to consume him. Guided by enigmatic mentors and the cathartic power of music, he embarks on a quest to understand not just his own reality, but the very nature of existence.
For fans of introspective coming-of-age tales and the transformative power of art, The Authors of this Dream is a visceral, soul-searching odyssey. Will Brandon find redemption through music, or will the darkness claim him? Step to the edge of the known—and discover what it means to become the author of your own dream.
