The Preface of a worthy Fable

For twelve years, Arna has done everything the Gods asked of him in hopes of saving the world after he nearly destroyed it. Despite his efforts, time is up and if he cannot complete the sacred dances by the summer solstice, the world will end. Determined to succeed even at the cost of his own life, Arna is willing to give anything, that is until the Gods tell him to return home.

Forced to face everyone he left behind, all Arna has ever known begins to splinter. Pressured on all sides, Arna struggles to reconnect with those he abandoned while being the savior the world needs. Who will he dance for? Mortals or the Gods? Life or death? A single choice stands between the end and the beginning.

What the workshop voidfriends are saying about Preface of a Worthy Fable

How do you define dreams?

The Preface of a Worthy Fable is an imaginative introspection into dreams. The solar punk inspired world is enchanting and filled with a vast array of well rounded characters. I cried with Arna, I screamed with him, and when it came to fighting for his dreams, I was ready to fight for my own.

What does it mean to be an artist?

Where does creation start? Where does artist intent end? Joy and love are often conductors of an artist’s soul, but so are traumas and suffering. Arna is the embodiment of creating through life experiences as he fuels his growth toward hope and redemption, snatching the reader (along the way) into every hue of emotion.

What is silence?

Bien souvent, le silence se confond sous le mot et disparait du langage. The Preface of Worthy Fable remet en question notre relation face à l’absence et au manque. Lorsque les mots s’étiolent, lorsque les promesses ne suffisent plus, lorsque les promesses s’essoufflent, que nous reste-t-il?
