**"Thereâs a moment in every storyâfictional or realâwhere everything changes. A moment where you either step into the unknown or let fear chain you to whatâs familiar. For the longest time, I thought those moments belonged to other people. The ones who âhad it all figured out.â The ones who fit neatly into the worldâs expectations. But then I realized something. What if I was never meant to fit? What if everything Iâve been throughâevery doubt, every failure, every time I felt like I wasnât âenoughââwasnât a reason to stop, but proof that I was being forged for something greater? And so, I write. Not just to tell a story, but to build a world. To challenge the myths weâve been told about power, control, and what it really means to awaken. My book isnât just about vampires, witches, and immortalsâitâs about us. About the war between fear and freedom. The hunger for truth in a world that wants us asleep. And if thereâs one thing I know for certainâ I was never meant to stay asleep. I used to be afraid of being seen. The thought of putting myself out thereâreally putting myself out thereâfelt impossible. What if I fail? What if people donât get it? What if Iâm just another dreamer shouting into the void? But then something shifted. I looked at my life, at the stories inside me, and I realized⊠I have something to say. And it matters. This bookâthis sagaâis bigger than just a âvampire story.â Itâs about control vs. liberation. Itâs about waking up to the forces that shape our world and daring to challenge them. Itâs about shaking the foundation of what we believe is possible. Itâs about me. And if youâve ever felt like thereâs something bigger waiting for youâif youâve ever felt like you were meant for moreâthen maybe, in some way, itâs about you too."**
