In a richly woven tapestry of diverse mythologies, where ancient gods and fearsome monsters roam, a young boy embarks on a journey that will forever alter the course of his life and the world around him. His appearance, as depicted on the cover of my novel, hints at his enigmatic nature—an unmistakable aura of curiosity and adventurous spirit radiates from him. As he traverses varied landscapes, from the mist-clad mountains of Greek folklore to the lush jungles echoing with the legends of Hindu deities, he unravels the mysteries embedded in each mythology he encounters. However, the most intriguing aspect of this tale is undoubtedly the boy himself—a puzzle waiting to be solved. Who is this boy venturing across realms teeming with mythical creatures and captivating lore? What fuels his insatiable desire to uncover the world's secrets? As he delves deeper into these ancient legends, he seeks not only external discoveries but also the truth about himself—a truth that may remain hidden even from his own understanding. Throughout the narrative, readers will encounter a rich blend of mythology, including but not limited to Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Hindu, and Native American tales, as well as many lesser-known legends from cultures around the globe. Yet, as I strive for inclusivity, I am aware that there may still be mythologies and creatures that I may overlook. If there are any mythological elements or cultures you feel should be represented, please share your thoughts, and I will gladly incorporate them into this expanding universe. I invite you to delve into my novel, where every page promises adventure, revelation, and the chance to explore the wonders of both the external world and the innermost secrets of the boy at its heart. Your feedback and suggestions will be invaluable as I refine this journey, so I welcome your thoughts and insights.

"There is a famous folklore about the woods among the nearby towns and villages. They say the woods have trees made of gold. They say the woods have animals and birds that speak human languages. They say the woods are filled with treasures hidden in every nook and corner." A young woman, intrigued, asked, "But then why does no one visit the woods?" The old woman, her voice low and heavy with warning, replied, "It's not because they don't want to, but because they don't dare. They say the woods have man-eating trees. They say the woods are home to monsters who are masters of deceit. And worst of all, they say the woods are alive, and they bring out the darkest parts of anyone who sets foot on their land." The young woman gasped, her curiosity tempered by a flicker of fear. The old woman leaned in closer, her piercing gaze locking onto the younger woman's. "The woods will lure you, entice you, and call out to you, whispering that you are special. But no matter what it says or does, don't go into the woods. If you value your life and your family, don't let greed guide your steps into their depths." The room fell silent, but the weight of the warning hung heavily in the air. The old women asks with a mysterious smile to the young woman and the people with her, "But! can you resist? Can anyone truly suppress the overwhelming desire to uncover the truth? the riches? the adventure? Will you heed the warnings-or succumb to the call of the woods? Step forward and uncover the secrets that await... if you dare."
