IN SEARCH OF HALFETI

THE FABLED BLACK ROSE

Legend has it that a mysterious black rose grows along the riverbanks in a far-off land. Believed by some to contain mysterious powers, confirmed by all to have an intoxicating scent. Many before have set off upon a voyage of discovery to glimpse the invisible but its allusive nature proves difficult to prove once and for all.
