A sweeping space fantasy epic where consciousness itself becomes the ultimate battleground

In the floating realm-worlds of Aethros, seven continents drift through endless skies of energy storms, each harboring unique cultures and technologies powered by the dual forces of mystical Aether and crystallized Technum. For most people, these energies violently oppose each other—but Kira Vex is not most people.

As one of the exceedingly rare "Bridge-Born," Kira can wield both forces in harmony, making her the most sought-after and dangerous person in the seven realms. When her sister Maya vanishes during an expedition to the ruined fragments of the eighth realm, Kira's desperate rescue mission uncovers a conspiracy that threatens not just their world, but the very nature of consciousness itself.

Every thousand years, the Final Convergence aligns the floating continents in a cosmic event that could reshape reality. Now multiple factions race to control this convergence: religious extremists seeking to "purify" existence, scientists wielding consciousness-transfer technology that may be creating copies while imprisoning souls, and an ancient artificial intelligence that has been secretly manipulating civilization for millennia—all while the governments of the seven realms wage war, unaware they're merely pawns in a far larger game.

What begins as a sister's quest becomes an epic struggle for the soul of the universe itself.

From the crystal spires of light-bathed Solmere to the shadow markets of Umbros, from the living bio-ships of jungle-world Verdania to the gear-cities of industrial Mechanicus, Kira must forge unlikely alliances with sky pirates, rogue scholars, void-walking spies, and reformed terrorists. But her greatest challenge isn't mastering her Bridge-Born abilities or outwitting cosmic conspiracies—it's choosing between safety through control and freedom through chaos, between preserving consciousness by artificial means or trusting it to find its own path.
