000. Dan Tesson:A Thriller- Free Prologue

Some stories aren’t loud. They just never leave you.

Dan Tesson isn’t a hero. He’s not a prodigy or a rebel or a legend in the making. He’s just... trying. And sometimes, that’s everything.

Set in the quiet corners of a life many would overlook, this book is for anyone who’s ever felt a little out of place, a little behind, or a little too human in a world that prizes perfection.

Dan doesn’t chase greatness—he survives disappointment. He navigates grief. He stumbles through hope. And in doing so, he becomes something far more real than most stories allow.

This isn’t about saving the world.

It’s about figuring out how to stay in it.

If you’ve ever found yourself rooting for someone who reminds you of yourself—flawed, kind, and maybe a little lost—you’ll find pieces of home in these pages.
