Book Cover & Preview Text
She reached into her pocket and retrieved the small scrap paper she got from Youssef. It read:
She sleeps at rest unlike the best
Enter the grounds of six
There beneath is where one picks
The common stone as shown
Oh, be careful not to groan.
Then below where water did flow
Go south until you're up in the house
Follow the squares of the golden snail
Until you reach it's tail
There below you find your mothers hair
Which became entangled in such a snare
Look in the color of gold
just before that which you once did hold..
