Forces surge in the darkness that threaten to topple the already fragile world. However, the plight of the world of Avern is not unknown, and those who watch from a distance have decided to intervene.

More than a goddess, the Dark Phoenix is the legendary mother of the gods. She is a part of the Eternal Phoenix that brought life to their world eons ago, one of the primal forces of the cosmos.

The winding, twisting paths of a poet's mind can lead to interesting places. Come along and visit this place of shadows. Here, there be dragons, monsters, truth, and more to enjoy. Fantasy, Reality, and Truths come together to form one hundred and fifty poems by Beverly L. Anderson. The beginning is a path of fantasy with mythic beasts of yore and darkness that creeps into the very bone. The second path is one of reality and perhaps questions of what is and is not within that reality. The final path is one of truths. These truths may be surprisingly uncomfortable, or they may not be the truth being sought after. Open these pages and see if something draws you into the whispered shadows of the very soul.
