Volume 1: The Beginning Is Now

Before Leroy was born, the world teetered on the edge of collapse-- its people severed from ancestral wisdom, drowning in consumerism, and were deaf to the whispers of unseen guardians. These ancient beings, bound by the laws of the veil, can only influence the course of humanity through certain individuals, through those with the strength to listen. Leroy, unbeknownst to him, was someone with that strength and becomes one of the chosen souls. Leroy was brought into a world full of turmoil-- communities are struggling, traditions are fading, and an unseen force lingers just beyond the veil, searching for someone who can restore what has been lost. But Leroy was unaware, as all he knew was the reality of family tensions, the harsh streets of Brooklyn, and the constant pull between survival and something more. Growing up, life took him on a path filled with unexpected lessons and powerful influences. His journey takes him beyond the city, deep into the mountains of St. Croix, where he reconnects with nature, family, and a wisdom that has long been forgotten. From city streets to distant lands, he is shaped by experiences that challenge everything he thought he knew. Throughout his life, he remained unaware of his true purpose, though he was destined to introduce a form of healing with over 2,000 years of history to a vastly underserved community. Leroy must confront the choices that will determine his path by navigating struggles, temptations, and his own choices before he can face his destiny. He will have to decide whether to embrace the unknown or remain bound to the only reality he's ever known. "Volume 1: The Beginning Is Now" is a story of identity, resilience, and awakening. It is a journey of discovery, history, and of wisdom that refuses to be forgotten.
