Meet Zanda, fresh from the prestige of becoming a Gevurah from the Fifth Sephirah, a powerful league of guardians in charge of protecting planet Malkuth. Yet, her first day after graduation spirals into unforeseen chaos when she is sent to Sectum, a continent for exiled criminals, to attend a special task. There, she will remember that the brightness of malkuthian society masks profound and painful wounds. As the young Gevurah confronts the responsibilities attached to her new title, she journeys to an underworld with challenges beyond the realms of her training and expectations.

Parallel to Zanda's tale is that of Adria, a woman ensnared on the brutal survivalist life of Dictaduria, the third country in Sectum. Falsely accused and living in poverty, she is trapped within a social structure that reflects the failures of defunct political regimes. Forgotten by the world that saw her grow, Adria remains hidden in plain sight, evading lethal threats while supporting her grandfather and working endless hours as an underpaid miner. This changes one day when, while walking her usual route across the concrete city, she hears the desperate screams of a man being tortured and on the brink of his murder, decides to help.

"A Tree of Omens" is meant to interlace the destinies of Zanda and Adria, two souls from disparate worlds, bound by a shared fate that will pave the path for new generations in a galaxy where futuristic ideals and ancient secrets collide.

With the promise of a timeless epic that not only questions the nature of utopia but also the very fabric that weaves our universe, this is an open invitation to witness the unfolding of The Omens.

-You might notice my profile pic, volume and book cover changing each week, my plan is to use this outputs to update with AI generated imagenes curated by me portraying moments of my story, that, although not an exact vision of what's in my mind, a great help to envision the wold of AToO.

-AToO is not a religious story, it's a tale trying to portray a possible future, and that entitles exploring humanity from all angles, including the spiritual side of an evolved version of homo sapiens. Regardless, it's fiction, a futurologist's theory, always with the outmost respect to all ideologies, but nothing more, a mere thought in the cosmos.

-If you notice a typo, inconsistency, or have a suggestion, please don't hesitate to let me know.

-Receive my eternal gratitude for taking the time to read this far, once I start, is difficult to stop the waves of words.
