Discover "Strange Faetes"

Begin your adventure with "Strange Faetes," the first novel in the anticipated seven-part A Starwalker Oddity™ series. Dive into a future where the Starwalkers, Earth's final survivors, navigate the uncharted terrains of Ruenova—a planet where science and magic intertwine.

In Ruenova, humanity encounters the Great Walks, indigenous beings who harness Sicma, the planet’s life force, through the ancient art of Invorio. This convergence of mysticism and technology sets the stage for a battle over Ruenova's destiny.

Meet the Heroes

  • Lana: A daring human bounty hunter whose discovery of a mysterious ahika orb with future sight thrusts her into a web of political intrigue within the Free City of Astenopel, alongside her steadfast deckmate, Kele.

  • Arlo: A nature-bound brother on a relentless quest to find his missing sister. His journey leads him through the lost realms of Xonne technology and the enigmatic Faetes that traverse Ruenova's mystical leylines.

  • Almira: The first human to commune with Ruenova’s crystalline energy, the Val. Almira becomes a beacon of hope, igniting a revolution against the oppressive Drausid regime—while uncovering darker secrets from the stars.

An Epic Journey of Survival and Hope

"Strange Faetes" is more than a story—it's an odyssey of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring human spirit. As the Dawn of the Arak Aeon approaches, marked by a rare dual lunar eclipse, Ruenova stands on the brink of monumental change. Will the Starwalkers secure a future for humanity, or will ancient and dark forces prevail?
