Eschewal has spent years chasing pleasure through a life of crime, only to find himself trapped in emptiness and shame.
Then he discovers a book that promises what he has never known: happiness.
Determined to change, Eschewal follows its instructions. He abandons the streets, rejects his old ways and rebuilds himself from the inside out. Yet the happiness he was promised never comes.
Until one day, in a crowded park, he sees her.
He does not know her name. He has never spoken to her. But in that single moment, Eschewal becomes convinced she is the woman he is meant to marry—the missing piece of the life he has fought so hard to deserve.
There is only one problem: he lets her walk away.
For the next year, he searches for her, driven by longing and the belief that finding her will finally make his transformation complete. When he eventually does, happiness appears to be within his grasp.
Then, under extraordinary circumstances, he loses her.
Broken and certain that his one chance at happiness has vanished forever, Eschewal returns to the book that first changed his life. This time, he discovers something hidden in its message: the one thing every human being must do to become worthy of happiness.
With the hope of winning back the love of his life, he sets out to do it.

Von Mozar was raised on the Yardie gang-infested streets of Brixton, London. In the 1990's he witnessed destructive acts of violence and death that destroyed, debased and deprecated the minds of many who had shared that environment. He escaped a similar fate by forcing himself to read, inspiring himself to write stories that people from underprivileged backgrounds could relate to and engage with. For two years he self-studied creative writing and then went on to earn a Diploma in Literature and Creative Writing from The Open University. Mozar began his writing career in 2002 and completed his first book, Ignorance Kills... in 2004. He then went on to write, Sexfiend, Little Jamaica, and Mr. Bling. Mozar has sold over 10,000 books independently in London until he stopped to pursue a Bachelor of Arts with Honours degree in Creative Writing at Kingston University. During his time there he worked with and tutored a vulnerable inner-city young person to write and bring the young person's creative memoir of gang life into print, Through My Eyes: The Spirit of a Prince. Mozar graduated in July 2013, earning a BA Honours in Creative Writing with a 1st Class Special Study in Narrative Techniques in Popular Fiction. Since leaving university, Mozar has explored a different genre of writing; Romantic Realism, the premise of art that selectively recreates reality as it should or could be. This has led to developing an urban crime thriller series, which is planned for publication in 2017.
