Twelve kingdoms. Twelve gods. Twelve tomes.
Once every century, a Tomekeeper from each kingdom is chosen by the gods to enact on their whims. As a new century enters and the next group is selected, the gods have something new on their mind: all-out war. While battles scar the world of Lidaesea, the Tomekeepers must discover secrets, form alliances and use the power of Incarnacy to keep the end of all creation from occurring.

A long time ago, there was a planet on the surface of which a real living Heart was beating. Each of its beat gave life to many wonderful creatures, and humans were no exception. Once, during a mountain collapse, they became afraid that something might happen to the Heart, and built a fence around it. And they started arguing about who is the worthiest defender of the Heart. The fence turned into a wall, and the city rose very quickly around it. Everything that people came up with was immediately brought to life by the love of the Heart. So, they created dolls to help themselves, which significantly accelerated the construction. In the time that was freed up, people took up the war. One day they closed the Heart completely, erecting a dome over it. Miracles stopped happening, and the dolls stopped coming to life. People blamed magical creatures for this and began hunting them. And in order not to stop the construction, they began to chip off pieces of the Heart and insert them into their mechanisms. The city continued to grow. Centuries have passed. The city has propped up the sky with towers. Only fragments of the Heart remained, saturating the black smoke with its breath. Factories that produce nightmarish monsters fed on it. With their help, people continue to wage war with each other for the title of the worthiest defender of the Heart. While it is dying. This is where our story begins...
This is a translation in process. So I am open for suggestions and comments on what to improve in the flow of the text.
Fire. Bullets. Blades. An army of machines bent on his capture, and destroying and killing everyone—and everything— around him.
And Silas thought that his lonely existence sucked before the car crash…at least then, there weren’t Bio-Droids hunting him for sport in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by A.I. and robots.
Silas was a normal teenage kid before the crash. Normal except for his growing apathy with society and the world around him, made worse by a recent tragedy—an accident he is responsible for. There will be no closure or forgiveness. Only an immense, insurmountable guilt he feels he can never confront or escape.
But then, Silas’ life is violently turned upside-down, both literally and figuratively, in a terrifying car accident. Now, his past problems pale in comparison to his current predicament, where somehow, he’s regained consciousness from the crash in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic hell-hole decades into the future, with partial amnesia and a new metal body, designed for battle and equipped with an arm cannon.
Now, he’s on the run from killer droids, and the army of automatons they control. The only way for him to save the remaining population of humanity and recover his memory is to go directly into the heart of the beast, and forcefully assimilate the abilities—called ‘Protocols’—of his most powerful enemies.
