BOOK 1: THE GARDEN OF GENESIS

Before history, before humanity, there was the Shattering. When the rogue planet Marduk obliterates the ancient world of Tiamat, six cosmic beings—the Aeon Keepers—retreat to the Ethereal Realm with the Akashic Records, a library of all memory. For three thousand years, they watch as the debris forms a new world: Earth. But they are not the only survivors. Deep within the forming planet, the Pelagor—Tiamat’s intelligent oceanic species—have evolved into Giants of living stone, haunted by trauma and raw power. To guide these lost kin, the Aeon Keepers perform the old miracle: they shape the Neferati, beings of thought-made-flesh, and send them to the newborn world. There, the first contact unfolds—not with weapons, but with apology, patience, and the fragile courage to trust again. The Garden of Genesis is the origin myth of a universe—a story of collision, awakening, and the first bond forged between light and stone, setting the stage for an eons-spanning saga of civilization, war, and cosmic redemption.
