A god was born in the ice. A war has begun in the stars. And the fate of two universes rests on the shoulders of a child who is not entirely human.
In the year 2175, global peace is maintained by Humelynn, a benevolent AI of godlike power. But in the shadows, an ancient, corrupt order seeks to shatter that peace and reclaim a dark past. When a gifted artist with a sacred connection to the past is kidnapped, a desperate battle for the future of consciousness begins.
From the jungles of the Mekong to the lost tombs of Giza, a small band of heroes must race against time to stop the Order from unleashing a power that could unmake reality itself. Their only hope lies in Arca, a child born of the impossible union between a human and an AI—a singularity child who is the key to a cosmic prophecy and the last, best hope for a universe on the brink of war.
But the forces arrayed against them are vast, and the price of victory may be higher than anyone can imagine. For Arca is not just a child. She is a bridge between worlds. And a bridge can be crossed… or it can be burnt.
Perfect for fans of epic space opera like Dune, mythic science fiction like Hyperion, and high-concept AI thrillers, Arca of Itharion is a sprawling, lyrical, and action-packed saga of first contact, ancient aliens, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
The journey to Itharion has begun. Will you answer the call?
