Heka and the Colour Thief

Dennis Dvornak

Medium Paperback


For she so cherished the dead, she wove them dreams from all the colours of Eternity

Few can weave with the colours of Eternity, but this young witch is amongst the most skilled. In her small corner of the Underworld, tucked away in the Outer Dark, Heka weaves dreams to ease the passage of lost souls.

But there is more to the world than the dreaming of the dead. Chaos knocks when a mysterious stranger tricks her into crafting them a special dreamweavewith colours capable of warping the very fabric of the Underworld to her will.

Heka must abandon her sanctuary and journey deep into the Underwilds to track the renegade down. The King of the Broken Crown will not take lightly to this threat to his domain, and Heka must risk his wrath if she is to stop the intruder from reaching the Innermost Dark and subverting death itself to her unknown ends.

But the wilds are a living dreamscape, offering the traveller mirrors of the soul at every turn. Heka knows that to traverse them is to navigate the dark regions of one's own heart. When her greatest strengths are stripped away and her fears manifest in the landscape itself, can the weaver wile herself free from the prisons of her mind before the veils of Eternity are torn forever?

Heka and the Colour Thief is a mythic fantasy tale about how death, magic, deception, longing, and loss weave together to craft reality from dreams. Loosely inspired by Greek myth, alchemy, and Jung, it follows the journey of a young witch through her shadow.
