AUTHOR NOTE

When I knew Clys, I felt that it would be magic if we write something together, especially after stating that it would be about a universe involving bands, music, and a tremendous festival. (I always loved writing about such things.). And that's what happened. Not necessarily in this order, but...

Initially, it was to be a short tale, until she sent me a file titled  "Compasso" (which gave rise to the title of the book), and which has changed all my plans since then. However, despite the whole story itself has been written by me (of course, over the Clys' original context), it doesn't mean the book belongs to me and only to me, Clys makes part of this too, after all, it was for her that I sent each new chapter completed and waited for the reaction, because besides being idealistic and reader beta, Clys also is a great writer.

Let’s say that the process of this book looks like O Reino das Vozes que não se calam, written by Carolina Munhóz and Sophia Abrahão. I just gave a new characterization to Josy's universe as Carolina did and I think it's fair to let the part made by Clys highlighted even because the idea of ​​the festival and the entire universe of Marina was her idea.

I think it was worth the dawns I passed writing and I really hope you enjoy the final result.

With care, Divino B’Atista.
