Since Onyx's Time

This is the spellbinding story of a familys connection to the mystical lore of their villages people. The storys adventures are seen through the eyes of two young brothers as they strive to carry out their deceased fathers legacy, while leaving their mother behind to await their return.

We learn of their mothers losses in life as she first prays for her familys safe return and then agonizes over her life alone, dreaming only of being reconnected with her loved ones.
