The Story....


ETAIN'S DREAM


-------------------------------------------------------------------



‘You believe you were cursed and to this world, reborn?’
‘To a world cursed – and damned.’

In a deserted, ancient monastery deep within the hills of Poland, the pen of a mysterious, aged monk, moves.  His pen will reveal secrets; the secrets of three hearts.  Two hearts have kept those secrets down all the days of time; one heart has yet to know.

Through the monk’s faithful retelling, we find sixteen year old Kaskia seeking redemption as she bears witness to the story of Etain Karas – on this, the last night of the young Etain’s life.  Etain, born to a Poland still shadowed by the First World War, is haunted by the calling of another, past world only seeming to mirror the turbulence of her own, to foreshadow the Nazi curse destined to befall her land.  But in the past might lie a lesson - that lesson be a gift in the face of your enemy.  Even if never to know who your enemies truly are.  Even if  only bound to meet a fate that has been yours since the beginning of time.

Three souls.  Three secrets. But there is only ever one truth. 
We just may never know it.
