About the Book
Love is not for the weak of heart, nor is it the sole domain of the pure. Love can burn through hellworlds to touch even demons, and the brightest blood of longing comes not without pain. Herein lies a journey through the darkness of the heart, a meeting of two incomplete souls who found each other in the hazy labyrinth of a virtual underworld.

You are invited to glimpse the resurrection of the dead in the name of love, to celebrate life through the imagery of death, and to know the pinnacle of joy through the domestication of suffering. Embrace the truth of our dual nature, turn not away from the darkness but enter it without fear, head held high, eyes open, prejudice banished, and you will witness the images of hell turn to Eden again.



There is no place that love is Not.
