Aetherseer: The Mound of Dead [Book 1 Complete]

Book 1 is now complete. Book 2 will continue the story soon. Time is but a Stubborn Illusion When an ambitious archaeologist Julia Carter uncovers a crystal in the ruins of a lost ancient civilization, she believes it’s the find of a lifetime. Instead, it makes her a target. Hidden hands and powerful elites want the artifact for themselves and they’ll stop at nothing to claim it. What Julia doesn’t know is that the crystal isn’t just history. It’s a remnant of Aetheria, a kingdom lost to time. In that past, Arion Faris, a young prodigy and guardian of the Aether Temple, is torn between sacred duty and forbidden love for a princess. But Aetheria teeters on the edge: clashing ideologies and personal rivalries have formed cracks in the royal family, threatening to shatter the power structure and plunge the kingdom into chaos. As timelines unravel and collide, Julia must face a chilling truth, she didn’t just find the past… the past found her. And the crystal she unearthed may not only rewrite history but could destroy the future. - Slow Burn
