The Burden of Fireflies

By Pebble S. Spruce

"The fireflies must wait for the darkest moments to arrive before they can search for those they love. What if they can't find their match? Is it their fate, their burden, to wait for Ulauna's darkness before they search for a love that they may never attain?"

In the mystical realm of Raia, the Triad of the moon goddess and the sun gods rule over the three isles. In the Northern palace, the na ve prince confronts his destiny to defeat the awakened darkness. In a world without magic, a stranger feels trapped, searching for courage to escape his insecurities.

What both men don't realize is that they are the same person, in every way, except for a birthmark on the opposite wrist.

Both men's hearts are attracted to others. A man with piercing blue eyes offers protection yet shields his emotions. A man with the tattoo of a mysterious melody offers strength, yet conceals his motives.

To defeat the darkness, the hidden Pearl Dragon must be summoned. The destinies of a prince and a stranger intertwine as they explore the balance of darkness and light. Both men have their own desires to summon the Pearl Dragon. They also have their own secrets.

The Burden of Fireflies explores whether we are truly the masters of our own fate or if, when the darkest hour of the night approaches, we are able to summon the light within us to set ourselves free from the chains of destiny.

The Melody of the Triad trilogy is a poignant and evocative commentary on fate, legacy and the relationship between the burden of memory and what the body remembers.
