Peace is Violence

About

A modern odyssey through snow, fire, and light—for readers of Paulo Coelho, Mitch Albom, and mythic literary fiction who want a quiet, dangerous little book that lingers.

Peace Is Violence is mythic, lyrical literary fiction told as a journey of confession.

John wakes in a world of ice and memory, guided only by a silent wolf-spirit named Ash. To leave, he must walk a symbolic road through his own damage: a river that hums like a heart, a bridge that burns without heat, a hall ruled by silence, a warehouse where rage is forged into form, and a garden that remembers love without turning it into worship.

This is for readers who love:

  • Mythic realism & metaphysical fiction

  • Psychological & spiritual literary fiction

  • Slim, parable-like novels that don’t preach but cut clean

What you’ll experience:

  • Fear turned into precise attention

  • Anger shaped instead of spilled

  • Grief made useful

  • Forgiveness lived quietly, not declared loudly

Why it resonates:

  • Cinematic, symbolic scenes

  • Lean, propulsive chapters

  • Luminous prose with emotional accuracy

  • A story you can read in an evening and carry for years

Perfect if you’re drawn to:

  • The journey-mind of The Odyssey

  • The moral clarity of Dante

  • The parable-light of The Alchemist

Inside the journey

  • Book I — Snow: stillness, reflection, the first honest breath

  • Book II — Fire: courage as craft; rage placed instead of thrown

  • Book III — Light: acceptance, renewal, the discipline of joy
