Thank you for your interest in The Dark Ichalocha of Terres Nei. This high fantasy series has been a labor of love, evolving over 20 years of inspiration drawn from cultural mythology, personal experiences, and spiritual exploration.

The word itself plays off of multiple interpretations:"Isha" draws from various sources: in Sanskrit, it means "lord" or "ruler," signifying divine power or protection. In Hebrew, it translates to "woman" or "wife," symbolizing femininity and creation. These meanings blend to form a figure of both authority and nurturing, a central theme in the book."Loa" com
