An Authority Over Everything but You

Harmony can impose his authority on almost anything. Space. Distance. Matter. Cause and effect. Even the rules that decide where a door is allowed to lead. Yet on Earth, the one thing he refuses to control is the person who matters most to him. Linh. To everyone around them, Harmony is simply an unusual young man with an inconveniently vague past and documents that insist he belongs here. Linh knows him better than anyone—but even she cannot fully explain what he is, where he came from, or why the impossible seems to gather wherever he goes. What begins as an attempt to live an ordinary life soon becomes anything but. People disappear through doors that should lead nowhere. Buildings connect to places miles away. Entire routes are rewritten. Symbols appear on screens carrying instructions meant for something that crossed a boundary it was never supposed to cross. And somewhere behind it all, something appears to know far more about Harmony than anyone on Earth should. For a man capable of forcing reality to obey, defeating monsters is rarely the difficult part. Understanding why they are coming is. And as Harmony is drawn deeper into a world of hidden anomalies, forgotten histories, and forces that seem to have been waiting for him long before his arrival, he is forced to confront a question his power cannot answer for him: If you have authority over everything, what does it mean to choose someone instead of possessing them? An Authority Over Everything but You is a character-driven contemporary fantasy blending cosmic mystery, supernatural action, romance, and an expanding shared world—centered on a man who could command almost anything and the woman he loves precisely because he never wants to command her.
