A young outcast followed by crows finds a flower in the forest one night – it is the Dreamer’s Lotus, a powerful hallucinogen that opens the mind to the meanings of the symbols. This can be helpful, especially when you live in a world where everything is symbolic.
The crow is a dangerous sign that is helping Corvus to transform dreams into reality, though everyone knows that manifestation will get you banished. The Elders say the boy is a bad omen, part of a prophecy that will destroy the village. Symbols never lie, but the Elders might and if Corvus doesn’t prove them wrong they will destroy him.
There is an old lunatic named Obiticus who lives in the forest. He wants to manifest a new world, and Corvus is the key to his plan. Obiticus speaks of things that are forbidden – he knows secrets that only the awakened will understand. Corvus is desperate to know the truth, but even enlightenment has its price.
The Dreamer’s Lotus, book one of the epic Lucidity Series, is a parable for our times. The Dreamer’s Lotus examines the concept of what it means to “awaken,” and reveals the perils of sharing a vision of a better world with those who think you are crazy. A book for lovers of adventure, wilderness, fantasy and philosophy, The Dreamer’s Lotus will make you question everything you believe.
