*The Best Philosophical and Possibly Prophetic Science-Fiction Novel of 2021*
This is a story, that has been smeared across the canvas of time.
Where the destiny of space and species collide.
Beginning with the downfall of man.
Their addiction to advanced technology, ultimately caused the Global Electronic Grid to burn out.
Throwing them back into the dark ages.
Only one human escaped Earth before Her collapse.
Her name was Evelyn. She was secured and sent to Titan, one of Saturn’s moons.
She was taken in by the King and Queen, and pronounced as the Princess of Titan.
Through fate, Evelyn soon crosses paths with a slave, known only as G.
The last living being of his race, known as Tangible Souls.
Imprisoned by the rulers of the Galaxy, orchestrating his species’ extinction...the Intellects.
The Intellects were the most intelligent and yet ruthlessly vile species in the Universe.
The elders seduced atrocity at their will.
Unchallenged by any other species because of their depraved soldiers enforcing their dominion.
But there is hope for a new beginning....
From the Author
This is a novella I have been working on and off for the past nine years. It is based on inspired dreams I've had, as well as reflections on our society's relationship with technology and society itself. It also includes philosophical musings, poetry, conspiracy theories, and religious motifs woven throughout. Enjoy!

The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

Exile to the miserable world of Sedh, the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx is consumed with bitterness. Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders. Oltyx can think of nothing but the prospect of vengeance against his betrayers, and the reclamation of his birthright. But the Orks are merely the harbingers of a truly unstoppable force. Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

The scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark, bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.

Most days, Sarya doesn't feel like the most terrifying creature in the galaxy. Most days, she's got other things on her mind. Like hiding her identity among the hundreds of alien species roaming the corridors of Watertower Station. Or making sure her adoptive mother doesn't casually eviscerate one of their neighbors. Again. And most days, she can almost accept that she'll never know the truth - that she'll never know why humanity was deemed too dangerous to exist.

After surviving a difficult heartbreak and battle with cancer, acclaimed author and columnist Julia Baird began thinking deeply about how we, as people, persevere through the most challenging circumstances. She started to wonder, when we are overwhelmed by illness, loss or pain, or a tragedy outside our control: How can we keep putting one foot in front of the other? Baird went in search of the magic that fuels the light within - our own phosphorescence.
