I am honored to introduce the first book created by my twelve-year-old granddaughter, London K. Little. She imagined a world of intrigue and wonder, laying the foundation for me to bring her vision to life. Her characters are unique, her underground realm extraordinary, and her creativity shines in every detail—from the regions she shaped to the environments she crafted, and all the rich elements that breathe life into this story.

She dreamed of a world beneath our own—full of mystery, danger, and beauty—and built its regions, landscapes, and characters with a creativity far beyond her years. I simply followed the path she laid, adding shape and story to the remarkable ideas she gave me. Every detail, every spark of magic, began with her.

This story began with her, and it carries her magic on every page.

And to London—thank you for letting me walk beside you as your world took shape. The joy in your eyes as you shared your riddles, your ideas, and the secrets only you understood reminded me that stories are bridges between hearts. One day, a riddle meant only for you will rest here, tucked between these pages like a whisper. Until then, may you always keep imagining, always keep creating, and always trust the magic you carry.
