Description

The tyranny of the dark examines the clash between personal vision and the forces determined to contain it. Set within an isolated village surrounded by grandeur, the story delves into how inherited obligations and moral manipulation challenge the pursuit of self-determined paths. At its core is a young woman grappling with the boundaries imposed by those who claim authority over her, both spiritually and socially. Her longing for creative expression stands in stark contrast to the weight of expectations that obscure clarity and choice. The novel presents a space where repression is not just social but psychological, exploring how ambition and selfhood are often filtered through the will of others. Interactions with both allies and antagonists push the story into a deeper inquiry about identity shaped under pressure, especially when one's internal calling defies the roles imposed by tradition. The juxtaposition of light and darkness evolves into a powerful metaphor for knowledge, control, and liberation. As external figures try to direct her future, the real struggle emerges within between resignation and defiance. Through this internal battle, the novel unfolds as a reflection on the difficulty of sustaining individuality in the face of moral coercion.
