The Throne

Tekst achterflap

There are lives that do not unfold as planned. Lives bent by loss, betrayal, poverty, love and inner war — until almost nothing remains. This is one such life. It is the story of Elior: a man who lost everything people normally hold onto. A man who came to know the world through its darkest sides, yet somewhere deep within never lost the belief that there had to be more than mere survival. This book is not a hero's novel. There is no moment where everything suddenly falls into place. There is no happy ending in the conventional sense of the word. But there is a throne. Not of gold. Not of power. But the throne a person ascends when they finally stop running from themselves — when they face the chaos of their past, recognize their own shadow, and still choose to live from consciousness and love. That is the victory this book describes. Perhaps you recognize something of yourself in Elior. Perhaps not everything — but enough to understand that no one walks their path alone. Your pain is not the end of your story. — J.J. Hijnes
