The Invisible Steps is an unforgettable musical fantasy adventure that weaves together the timeless themes of courage, friendship, and the fight against evil, reminiscent of the beloved classics The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Lord of the Rings. In this gripping tale, the dangers of our world today—its moral decay and the rising tide of darkness—are subtly woven into a vibrant and immersive fantasy realm. 
At the heart of the story is Soleran, the betrayed daughter of Mother Nature, who has been buried within the earth since the dawn of time. Nature is all encompassing and relies on the courage and friendship of Jessie—a young girl of immense bravery —to stand against a mighty evil enemy. With the help of mythical creatures called the Bellas, Jessie embarks on a perilous journey that will test her in ways she never imagined. 
This rock opera is a modern day masterpiece. The beautifully crafted storytelling is accompanied by unforgettable songs that enhance Jessie’s extraordinary adventure. Each step she takes is underscored by powerful melodies. 
Prepare for an emotional and exhilarating journey that will stay with you long after you’ve heard the last page. The Invisible Steps is more than just a story—it's an epic adventure that will resonate with readers of all ages.
