THE PHOENIX AND THE CROW
Before the sands of time
In lands undefined
Did dwell two friends,
two states of mind -
the Dancer and the Poet.

The story...
The Phoenix and the Crow is a mystical tale set in a fictional land of wealthy merchants, warriors and dark dancers. While her friend the poet spectates from the shadows, the dancer’s pursuit of adulation leads her to an empty victory. A chance encounter with a courtesan and a warrior challenge her to shed layers of her identity and find her authentic expression.
She discovers that the limelight pales in comparison to her inner light.About the writer...
