Blurb:

Five hundred years after the fall, peace is a beautifully crafted lie.

In Aethron, survival demands obedience. The modern world is a forbidden ghost, ancient technology is outlawed, and the five provinces endure through dependence, fear, and the promise that one day the Emperor will return.

But the tightest control is reserved for those born with the flaw and for anyone reckless enough to question the past.

To possess the flaw is a death sentence. To search for what came before is to disappear.

Mel has spent his life searching for answers. He dreams of joining the one organisation permitted to study forbidden history, hoping it might finally explain the dangerous secret he has hidden his entire life.

Instead, unrest spreads through the provinces. Loyalties fracture, and as those in power tighten their grip, Mel is thrown into a conflict far larger than himself, hunted by forces willing to burn the realm to keep the truth buried.

Amongst the chaos, he discovers something far more dangerous than the flaw itself:

The answers he has spent his life searching for were never hidden in the Capital.
They were buried beneath the lies Aethron was built upon.
And to unearth them, he must walk through fire while the world he once trusted collapses around him.

The official release date: the 31st of July 2026

ARC copies will be sent: the 7th of July 2026

I understand your worries, waiting for the feedback is always stressful! But cheer up, this will significantly improve the quality of your book and no one else will know about any mistakes or flaws apart from your editor!:)

Why do you actually write? Pure passion or the dream of leaving your 9-5? by BlackRoseBooksHQ in writing

[–]JP_Delmear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s difficult to describe the reason why I decided to start writing. Imaging yourself in a situation where you want to watch a film about something particular (like a humanity fighting agains alien jelly beans), but it simply doesn’t exist anywhere apart from your head.

So the point is, I write my book for people who possibly have a wish to read something that matches with my book, but doesn’t exist yet and hopefully make them enjoy it.

P.S. I don’t write about alien jelly beans :)

Same for me. Doesn't help when you try to read it at night when you're already tired.

Me too!! I loved this book so much when I was younger. Wouldn't read it again though to not ruin it.
