When the sirens wail and the world goes dark, Rayn Aeternus shepherds her students into a school hall, and into a new reality ruled by luminous Eternals.
Among strangers who become family - Bedelia with silver eyes, Vaxton with autumn storm gaze, Evon whose touch glows like gold - Rayn learns who she really is, and what she is truly capable of.
Factions plot, queens in velvet smile with knives, and the river remembers every vow.
Beginning as an urban fantasy set in the near future, Initium sets the board, exploring how every decision on this cosmic chessboard challenges determination, sense of self, and ability to love amidst hardship.
Not an ordinary post-apocalyptic fantasy, Initium is a story about adaptation, a love that refuses to break, and the ultimate cost of freedom told within a blend of urban fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, mystery, suspense, and magical realism, backed up by a slow-burn open door non explicit romantic subplot.
Featuring aerial angel warriors, immortals, and morally driven protagonists who are willing to blur black and white to fight to the end for those they believe in.
This is a story of wings and rain, of found family and impossible choices, an adult romance for anyone who believes the heart can change a universe.
A battle between choice and destiny that spans across the ages.
A journey of self-discovery.
Of the bonds that give us hope.
And the true cost of protecting those you love.
