Camille and The Bears of Beisa-Drafnel

Sometimes unlearning the truth reveals centuries of lies.

Sometimes the shadows in the periphery simplify complex realities.

Sometimes love is an expansive concept riddled with explosive diversions.

Years of deception and suppressed trauma do not prevent secrets from unraveling when parallel worlds clash, intertwining families and exposing hidden agendas. An unwanted romance mirrored in an alternate universe has devastating consequences for an unsuspecting young woman and a mysterious stranger.

There is a vast literary intellect behind Camille and The Bears of Beisa: Drafnel, and it belongs to author Simone Salmon. The language is transfixing, bewitching, erupting into that realm between an epic poem of breakneck pace, and the clarity and rigor of an after-action report meant only for a general's eyes. This story operates in many rich dimensions. It reads like a graphic novel, but without need of illustrations, as the events explode like fireworks in the mind's eye. What an amazing piece of writing!
