The Neverland Wars

Peter Pan was a boy unlike other boys his age,
and very much like some men, in that he would
never grow up.

 
It was his vehement oath that kept him young.
That, and the magic of Neverland.
This same oath allowed other lost souls,
souls he named “The Lost Boys,”
to remain the age at which they entered the land.

That was the promise with which
he enticed these children to leave their world
and come with him to Neverland.
 

It was his foolish ideals
and the magic that bound him to youth
that would be his downfall.
That would be
our downfall.

A dark fantasy twist on the classic Peter Pan and Wendy tale by J.M. Barrie, The Neverland Wars casts Peter Pan in a more sinister light, with Tinker Bell as the protagonist. The novel is an exploration of Jungian psychology principles such as the shadow self and the unconscious mind expressed through the metaphor of Peter Pan’s severed shadow, the chilling nature of the Lost Boys, and the wild, ever-changing landscape of Neverland itself. 

In a world where heroes become villains, and villains become allies, Tinker Bell must find her place and save Neverland from the shadow spreading across it, before it consumes everything the knows and loves. But will she lose herself in the process?



The Neverland Wars is currently in the writing process. Its accompanying art collection is ongoing, featuring its characters, with fine art prints and canvas prints available.
