Dear Reader,

My name is Orpheus Lenoir-Nyx, former Head Witch and husband of Eunan Lenoir.

Eunan wrote and photographed and recorded everything. I have attempted to sort these recordings in a way that made sense to you.

I must warn you - Eunan wrote of all the terrible things he went through. Many of these experiences may cause pain to those reading, and I will warn you of those chapters.

But for every terrible story, a better one awaits.

I am trying to collect Eunan's life as it was, but there are some things I cannot share due to privacy reasons or it was just too painful to part with a story.

Eunan wrote in many languages. This version of the book is in English - I'm sure you're aware of that - and may contain some mistakes or things that don't seem accurate.

I wish you the best, dear Reader.

(The pages are old and yellowed with age. The handwriting is shaky and clumsy, but the signature at the bottom is swooped and beautiful. It is practiced. The leather of the cover is heavy and warm - as though someone has been holding it for years.)
