About the Book

I perceived the world and acknowledged all of its colours. There was truth; the kind you cannot simply speak of. A tale suits the cause better. It is a disguise that anyone can enjoy and if intrigued, look behind it. This is my testament. A fantasy saga exploring the most human reality. A Journey that lies ahead and matures with each page turned.

About The Author

Stefanos Sampanis

Stefanos Sampanis was born and raised in Greece. He graduated from the Hellenic Naval Academy and has since served as an officer in the Hellenic Navy. Although his profession and curiosity have led him to many parts of the earth, he has travelled even farther into worlds crafted on the page.
His first published book was a non-fiction collection of short stories, followed by a poetry collection, both in Greek. The Journey of the Wish, an epic fantasy saga, marks his debut in international publishing.
