A Powerful Fantasy Book That Redefines Courage And Destiny
A captivating tale of magic, identity, and resilience in a world where humanity stands at the very bottom of the realms.
Brooklyn, New York State, United States, 8th Dec 2025 – What if the smallest act of bravery could shift the balance of an entire world? In her debut fantasy novel, Beyond the Cobbled Road: Fading Light, author Stacey Bureker invites readers into the Six Realms, where humans are considered weak, short-lived, and unworthy of magic. Through the story of a young servant who defies every expectation placed upon him, the novel explores how courage can rise from even the most unlikely places.

Blending emotional storytelling with immersive worldbuilding, Beyond the Cobbled Road: Fading Light follows Kye, a human boy enslaved since childhood in the harsh desert realm of Helia. His life has been defined by obedience and silence under a cruel goblin master, but everything changes the night he uncovers a conspiracy to assassinate a visiting mage of the High Council. In a moment of instinct and resolve, Kye intervenes, altering the course of his life and the fate of the realms he never believed he would touch.
That mage is Lord Arden, an elven Maister whose compassion stands in stark contrast to the prejudices of their world. In gratitude for Kye’s bravery, Arden offers him a place as his apprentice, making Kye the first human Acolyte in history. But this appointment sparks controversy among the magical ranks, many of whom reject the idea that a human could ever wield true power.
As Kye undertakes the grueling path of becoming a mage, he must confront not only the doubts of others, but the deeply rooted beliefs that he has carried within himself. Meanwhile, a dangerous necromancer rises, spreading chaos through the realms and threatening to unravel everything Kye and Arden are fighting to protect. The journey that follows tests loyalty, trust, and the meaning of worth in a world built on rigid hierarchy.
A Story Born From Love Of Fantasy And The Power Of Change
For Stacey Bureker, this story grew from a lifelong passion for fantasy, shaped by her love of Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and the imaginative works of Diana Wynne Jones. Yet its heart lies in a message that feels profoundly human and universal.
“The theme of my book is overcoming prejudice,” Bureker explains. “Humans in the Six Realms are viewed as incapable, but Kye challenges that. He shows that strength doesn’t depend on what you are born as, but on what you choose to become.”
Bureker hopes readers will see reflections of their own struggles within Kye’s determination to rise above judgment. She believes that people are often misunderstood before they are truly known, and her writing seeks to push back against that instinct. Through accessible prose and emotionally grounded storytelling, she invites readers into a world where even the smallest spark can ignite change.
The novel also carries a writing philosophy that has guided her creative voice for years: “You are not trying to impress with your vocabulary. You are trying to paint a picture. Sometimes the simplest words are often the best.” This approach gives her work a clarity and warmth that resonates with both longtime fantasy readers and those just entering the genre.
A Universal Message Wrapped In A Thrilling Fantasy Adventure
While the novel has all the elements of epic fantasy rich realms, ancient rivalries, magical orders, and looming threats it remains rooted in the emotional journey of a boy discovering his worth in a world built to deny it. Readers who enjoy stories of found family, quiet heroes, and the triumph of resilience will find much to love in Kye’s story.
Bureker’s influences can also be felt throughout the book. Fans of Lord of the Rings will recognize echoes of classic fantasy structure, while those who grew up admiring the whimsical depth of Diana Wynne Jones will appreciate the layered storytelling and subtle clues woven throughout the narrative. Yet Beyond the Cobbled Road: Fading Light stands entirely on its own, offering a fresh voice and a unique vision that sets the stage for an exciting new series.
The novel is particularly suited for young adult and new adult readers, as well as anyone interested in discovering an accessible entry point into the fantasy genre. Through Kye’s eyes, readers are invited to examine their own assumptions about power, identity, and belonging.

VEVOR Times Square Pop-Up Inspires Holiday Creativity with The Great Upgrade Experience
Immersive on-site activities invite the public to explore how everyday items can inspire creativity and emotional connection.
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA, United States, 8th Dec 2025 – VEVOR formally launched the Black Friday pop-up event in Times Square in New York. Members of the public received a warm welcome and enjoyed the activity “Everyone Can Be a Creator.”
The show demonstrated how ordinary items were given new life as creative, meaningful creations. “The Great Upgrade” defines what is being upgraded: the everyday spaces that shape how people live. It invites home creators to reimagine simple household items as the starting point for a more intentional, more expressive living environment. A wide range of ways in which these items can be transformed into the material embodiment of creativity. It provided participants with much food for thought on how best to experience creativity over the holiday season. It was designed for home creators who find joy in hands-on improvements that make their spaces more their own.
A Clear Creative Journey: One Path, Many Layers
Set in one of the world’s busiest urban centers, the pop-up was built around “The Great Upgrade”, a call to rethink everyday objects and unlock their creative potential. It combines live demonstrations of artistic creation, interactive experiences where participants could get their hands dirty, and an environment that was designed to stimulate all the senses. Visitors were encouraged to bring usable household items, which were woven into the various activities on offer and helped stress participation and emotional value. A series of experiential highlights formed the event’s core. It mirrored VEVOR’s promise of pro performance and unexpected value—making meaningful upgrades accessible to more households.

(All participants who donated usable items were given the opportunity to purchase designated VEVOR products at $9.90, as well as a specially designed Home Creator Bat.)
Upon entering the space, visitors were naturally guided through a curated creative journey. The experience began in the Artist Zone, featuring renowned Brooklyn-based public artist Tom Fruin, best known for his vibrant Watertower series. Fruin specializes in using reclaimed materials, steel, and colorful plexiglass to create light-filled sculptures that reimagine everyday city elements.
At the event, he drew from the used household items brought by attendees—echoing the creative philosophy that shaped his early years in New York, where he was inspired by the vibrancy and diversity of urban life and the traces left behind by its residents. His practice of collecting, stitching, and reorganizing cast-off fragments into new forms was reflected in the live creation on-site. The HOUSE sculpture showcased in Times Square, created in collaboration with VEVOR, honored the brand’s role in supporting daily living and the creative potential found within the home. His approach echoed VEVOR’s declaration: every space holds untapped potential, and the right equipment helps unlock it.
Photo Booth, where they could take pictures with their own usable vintage items and see them creatively transformed, highlighting how everyday objects can be given new purpose with simple, practical upgrades. This showed a key insight behind the event: upgrading an item is a small act, but it can shift how people experience the spaces they live in.
As the day progressed, a User-Generated Visual Wall rapidly grew—filled with photos taken by participants featuring their donated items.

The atmosphere shifted into the Interaction Zone, where activities—such as mechanically chiseling ice for “warmth” and timed transformation challenges—sparked enthusiastic participation. VEVOR’s tools and equipment were integrated throughout these activities, demonstrating how practical solutions support imaginative, hands-on projects. A YouTube-focused engagement area encouraged attendees to share their experiences online. Around the space, crowds gathered to take photos with murals, assemble collaborative art pieces, and enjoy street-dance performances, giving the event a lively, residential neighborhood feel right in the heart of Times Square. Across these activities, VEVOR demonstrated its core user value: pro-level performance without compromise, giving home creators the confidence to build, remodel, and experiment.
Finally, in the Product Display Area, participants explored the space where VEVOR showcased equipment for home workshops, maker projects, and creative repurposing. Attendees could interact with drills, saws, fabrication tools, and modular furniture kits, experimenting with these solutions through hands-on, playful activities and receiving small rewards for their participation, reinforcing the event’s theme of “The Great Upgrade” and demonstrating how everyday items can be transformed into functional or decorative creations. This area reflected VEVOR’s vision of unlocking every home’s potential: empowering users to take on upgrades that were once limited by price, access, or skill.
Brand Perspective: Creativity for Everyone
VEVOR’s Brand Director Gavin explained, “As we approach the holiday season, we want to encourage consumers to remain nurturing and creative in how they participate in the world. Our message is that creativity is for everyone, and each person can build, remodel, and rediscover potential in the things around them.”
He emphasized that the event celebrated creativity in everyday life, encouraging participants to turn daily moments and objects into their own ‘works of art’. This message ties directly to VEVOR’s mission: helping people build the life they envision with their own hands.

Through thoughtful interactive design and emotionally engaging experiences, this trade-up event helped participants understand the essence of creative consumption—shifting from merely purchasing products to learning how to create with them. As a standout activation during the Black Friday period, the event encouraged consumers to participate in the holiday season with greater intention—embracing creativity, resourcefulness, and personal expression rather than relying solely on traditional buying habits. This is what makes the upgrade “great”: it empowers people to transform their homes on their own terms, turning small acts of making into long-term improvements in how they live.

AAC’s Green and Inclusive Growth Pathway in the ASEAN Region
Aurora Archipelago Capital (AAC) is building a green and inclusive growth pathway across ASEAN, especially Indonesia. By investing in geothermal energy, battery-material supply chains and sustainable palm oil, AAC has cut 1.2 million tons of CO₂ and created 480,000 green jobs. Its education and MSME programs reach 720 pesantren and 180,000 small businesses, linking ESG capital with financial literacy, digital skills and long-term social impact.
Amid growing global attention toward sustainable investment, Aurora Archipelago Capital (AAC) is driving economic transformation across ASEAN—particularly Indonesia—through a systematic green‑finance framework and an inclusive development approach. As an investment institution focused on emerging markets, AAC does not pursue financial returns alone; it emphasizes measurable and scalable social and environmental impact, laying the foundation for long‑term structural change in the region.

In recent years, AAC’s green investment portfolio has delivered strong performance, generating returns of 17.2%, one of the highest among emerging‑market assets. By adhering strictly to the green taxonomy of Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), the portfolio also secured five‑year tax incentives, further strengthening return stability. With a focus on geothermal energy, battery‑material supply chains, and sustainable palm oil (RSPO), AAC is building an ESG investment ecosystem spanning energy, materials, and agriculture—advancing governance standards across Southeast Asia’s green supply chain.
AAC’s environmental contributions are substantial. Through geothermal projects, battery‑chain development, and green agriculture initiatives, the firm has reduced CO₂ emissions by 1.2 million tons and created more than 480,000 green jobs across related sectors. These impacts not only accelerate Indonesia’s green‑economic transition but also open new economic opportunities for young people and low‑income families—making the green transformation more inclusive and sustainable.
Education and inclusive finance serve as additional pillars of AAC’s strategy. Its value‑based investment education program now reaches 720 pesantren across Indonesia, providing financial‑literacy training, investment principles, and economic education to 32,000 students. This initiative equips younger generations with essential skills for the digital era while bridging traditional Islamic education with modern financial concepts.
In supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), AAC leverages digital training and inclusive‑finance tools to strengthen business capacity. More than 180,000 MSMEs have completed online training and reported an average 41% improvement in business performance. In ASEAN markets where access to financing is often limited, this program significantly helps MSMEs overcome capital barriers and integrate into regional supply chains.
AAC recognizes that for Indonesia to shift from a resource‑based economy to an investment‑driven one, a sustainable capital‑trust mechanism is essential. To this end, the firm has developed a comprehensive model linking education systems, financial‑technology infrastructure, green‑asset governance, and long‑term capital flows. By combining global ESG standards, local regulations, and international investment practices, AAC is fostering a “cross‑cycle capital culture” that emphasizes stable growth, social value, and intergenerational equity.
From green energy to inclusive education, from MSME empowerment to strengthened capital governance, AAC is shaping meaningful transformation across ASEAN. By bridging Wall Street‑level professional expertise with the real needs of local communities, AAC is steering the region toward a greener, more sustainable, and more inclusive future.
