Pyrrha’s Journey
At just fifteen years old, Pyrrha Tock kills a tiger in self-defense yet, instead of being seen as a survivor, she is sentenced to death. Her fate seems sealed, until Duke Yuddha, a charismatic leader, steps in and commutes her sentence. However, this reprieve comes at a cost: Pyrrha must complete three Herculean tasks, the first being to free Mount Omega from the ferocious dragon, Eruliaf.
This is a fantasy adventure story about the power of spirituality in overcoming challenges as a youth grows out of childhood into adulthood. Meditation and prayer are used as superpowers to overcome anxiety and uncertainty while navigating the way between fate and free will. Pyrrha must choose what she wants to do while facing her destiny. Bahá’i prayers are used within the text as they would be used in real life to move through difficulties.

“Growing up is hard, and it is harder for Pyrrha than for most. She is able to navigate through her tests because she has tools, including her loving family and her spiritual practices. Young people will be able to relate to her struggles and will be encouraged to employ their own tools as they face the challenges in their lives.”
