Ashes of self

Book One of the Shadows of Nirix

Why does the world demand a hero?
What if the true battle lies not against others, but within?
Can there truly be light without shadow, or peace without conflict?
And when you stand before yourself, stripped of all the roles you've played, who are you?

What if the very truths you've built your life upon were nothing more than chains, holding you in place?
Is it possible to lose everything... and still find yourself?

When the ashes of your former self settle around you, can you rise from them?
Or will you be consumed by the fire that once gave you life?

What is right?
What is wrong?
And in the end, who decides?

This is not a story of saving the world.
It is a story of understanding the world within.

Will you walk the path of self - into the flames, into the unknown?
Or will you remain in the ashes of who you were meant to be?
