Meet Adria, a woman ensnared on the brutal survivalist life of Dictaduria, the third country in Sectum, a continent for exiled criminals. 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 keeps going for months until a moment 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.
Parallel to Adria's tale is that of Zanda, fresh from the prestige of becoming a Gevurah from the Fifth Sephirah, a powerful league of guardians in charge of protecting the utopic planet Malkuth. Yet, her first day after graduation spirals into unforeseen chaos when she is sent to Sectum with 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.
"Volume I - The Souls in Sectum" is meant to interlace the destinies of Adria and Zanda, 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.

What to expect:
-Release window Mon - Wed - Fri
-This is the first book in a saga planned to last a considerable number of volumes. It's too early to reveal how many (I have the number and titles for each volume), but tag along for the ride if you want to know in the near future!
-You might notice my profile pic, volume and book cover changing every now and then, my plan is to use these outputs to update with AI generated imagenes curated by yours truly, portraying moments of AToO, that, although not an exact vision of what's in my mind, a great help to envision this universe and share it with you.
-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.
Enjoy the read!
Aequitas and much love,
