Clarity conquers all...

In just under a week we're thrilled to release this companion series to Daughters of Time. Apocrypha Enigmatis presents, in story form, the lesser-known histories, and delves into uncommon perspectives of the colorful characters who inhabit the Faerworld Omniverse.

In i001, its debut issue, the ebook series grapples with the young life of one of Daughters of Time's chief players: Summer Avatar, and Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Caderas, Gwendolyn Duprée. Absconded and sold to slavery by traffickers at a young age, Gwen's life takes an unexpected turn, from being a beloved member of a privileged family to having to fight each and every day for survival.

While her smarts and creativity help her to muster the very basics of a working family, war looms, and with it, colossal strains upon friendships, and the threat of having undermined the interpersonal trust she has taken years, and at no small cost, to build. The story of "Eight Years" is one of courage, compassion, love, inspiration, and finding the magic within you when you least expect it.

Featuring the song: "I Will Be the Light" (aka "Gwen's Theme")

"I will be the light that can guide you Standing near and bright, I'll turn night into song When you've lost your way, I'll be there, inside you Let me guide you, 'til you find where you belong"
