Tephran
A powerful young adult allegory about inequality, courage, and hidden truths. When a remote community living in the shadow of a restless volcano uncovers long-buried secrets, one young voice rises to challenge tradition, injustice, and fate itself. A gripping tale where myth meets social commentary.
The mystery of the Vulcano
High above the world, in a village built on volcanic slopes, the people of Tephran live under constant threat. The volcano dominates their lives: its rumblings and eruptions serve as both warning and punishment, controlled — or so they believe — by those in power. For generations, the villagers have accepted their place, bound by ritual and fear.
But when a restless young villager stumbles upon a forbidden path inside the mountain, hidden truths begin to surface. He discovers that the eruptions are not divine punishment but the result of human manipulation — a system designed to keep the people powerless. This revelation forces him to confront the elders and risk everything to bring change.
Tephran – The Secret of the Volcano is a modern allegory that combines adventure with social critique. Written for young adult readers but resonating with adults as well, it explores themes of inequality, oppression, indigenous wisdom, and the courage to resist. The volcano becomes both a setting and a metaphor: explosive, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
