Stairs of Light

SCIENCE FANTASY - MYSTERY - ROMANCE A character-driven story about memory, connection, and the secret that refuse to stay buried. BANG! One shot was all it took to shatter Ashtre’s world. One moment, he was on a university field trip with his best friend, Lein. The next, Lein was lying motionless in a pool of blood. Ashtre had always known that life in the Lower Lands wasn’t perfect. Compared to the technologically advanced Erzania Plate where he had grown up, it was a world left behind. But here, with Lein by his side, he’d found something he’d never had before: a life he was content with. Then he sees her. A girl he has never met. A girl he somehow recognizes. Because she has been appearing in his dreams. When Ashtre makes one reckless decision to help her, he sets in motion a chain of events that will change everything he thought he knew about his world, forcing him to confront a past he thought he had escaped—and another he cannot remember. Because Lein’s death was only the beginning.
