A Throne of Souls Product Description

“We, the seeds of Humanity, are all the descendants of hardened criminals, fighting to survive the unmaking of A Throne of Souls.”

​

A revolutionary and thoughtfully-researched, nonlinear, textured, layered, and nuanced telling of the Human origin story and the story of Creation itself, wrapped inside a fictional love tale between Damon the Banished and Dallia.  A story meant to invoke, awaken and arouse all of your senses, and most especially your critical thinking abilities.  There are dark truths intended to be uncovered here—not that they weren’t always there but that you had been purposely blinded to them in plain sight.  This is the one story I believe I was put here on earth to tell because of its incalculable ramifications for Humanity, and I hope you will pay close attention to every single word in this story because every single word is precisely placed, chosen and designed to show you what you were never meant to see.

 

Because this story is told asynchronously, you can start with any novel of your choosing, but if I may suggest that you start with Book 4: The Rise of Hope, I think you will thank me for that recommendation, which will compel you to read the others and establish a metaphysical framework for understanding the whole of the story.  You may also choose to start with Book 1: A Kingdom Forgotten, which will establish the multi-world framework for the telling of the story.  Or you can start with any other book in between.  But because I provide a current Glossary of Terms and a Glossary of Characters in each of book of the series, you can start with any book of your choosing.  Whichever appeals to you most.

 

This is a five-plus-one-world story of Creation, with those five worlds being: Perion (Book 1), Kaleion (Book 2), Graelon (Book 3), Terran (Book 4), and Setinon (Book 5).  The plus-one being: The Pleiadian system mentioned throughout the series, and especially driven in Book 4: The Rise of Hope.

 

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect in each:

• Book 1: A Kingdom Forgotten focuses primarily on establishing the nature of the multi-world Human origin story.  Of non-terrestrial Humans.  It also picks “a” beginning for the telling of this story, not necessarily “the” beginning, which is more uncovered in Books 4 and 5: The Rise of Hope and The Veil of White respectively.  AKF introduces a magic system unique to the telling of this story, as well as the multi-faceted genre required to tell this story.  For example, many stories you’ll read are one-genre-only stories: fantasy, sci-fi, thrillers, etcetera.  This story is a murder mystery, history, hard science, sci-fi, fantasy, military fiction, and romance, and covers many subject domains of expertise.  AKF’s role is to establish this multi-genre framework necessary for the telling of this unique story that seamlessly blends fiction and non-fiction such that the reader can’t really tell where one ends and the other begins.

• Book 2: Black Mirrors of the Soul is a beautifully-told romantic tale of Damon the Banished’s early life and homeward of Kaleion, and all of the characters Damon grew up with that made Damon who he is today.  It is a prequel/sequel full of history and intrigue wrapped inside a beautiful and heart-wrenching love story between Damon and Dallia, unlike anything you’ve ever read before.  This is actually the first of the books I started in this story.  One that sat on the shelf the longest until my dreams finished it in a series of furious writing sessions that shot the book from my hands in a few short months after it had sat idle for over 26 years.  I dare say the flow of this book is better than any of the others because these characters are so well-known to me and it is the most character-driven story of the entire series.  When you know your characters intimately you can just put them together in a choreographed event and the story will write itself.  This is the best way to describe the way Black Mirrors of the Soul came into being.  It was both the hardest and easiest to write of the entire series.  And it shows….

• Book 3: The Fall of Hate focuses on the necessary transformation of Damon the Banished into the Damon we needed him to be.  The Damon who would carry our burden, and his, to its necessary conclusion.  While this book has a focus on Graelon and its colonies, it purposefully turns the corner in this story and places you in the home stretch as mystery gives way to answers, but there is still much to learn.  And you will be shown….

• Book 4: The Rise of Hope focuses on Earth (Terran), and as such, you’ll see the plethora of research in the credits section, because unlike any of the other books, this story had to be accurate to a hidden history of Man (the fourth-cycle of Man or fifth root-race of Man) while dovetailing the fiction into the non-fiction in such a way as to blur where one ends and the other begins.  Quite frankly, I was warned not to publish this story as anything other than fiction, and I took that threat seriously.  TROH beautifully finishes the transformation of Damon the Banished into Damon the Love and Light of Dallia, and the champion, anti-hero of Man.  And while Damon is still very much Damon, his true self comes on display as shadow yields (somewhat) to destiny.  The end is approaching and it will be…everything I have promised.  And more….

• Book 5: The Veil of White is meant to bring the mystery into the Light.  To show you the who, the what, the where, the when, and most importantly the why. It illustrates the furious conclusion of the fight for Man’s independence from the meddling of others who would seek to control and enslave us.  It is the heartbreaking truth you knew but feared to speak, for saying it aloud would manifest it into being before you were ready to accept its consequences and reality.  It is the want yielding to the necessary.  And the truth you need to hear.  Regardless of how very painful, and liberating, it might be.

 

I hope this verbose product description helps.

 

What is A Throne of Souls and how is it different from a classical anthology or epic fantasy literature?

A Throne of Souls is the nonfiction story of Creation and the Human origin story told asynchronously and from the perspective of multiple characters sometimes even within the same scene.

 

How is A Throne of Souls both fiction and nonfiction?

The primary topic and narrative around the nonfiction story of Creation/Human origin story is wrapped inside a fictional love tale between Damon the Banished and Dallia, where fact and fiction are seamlessly woven together in such a way that it's hard to tell where the fact ends and the fiction begins.  You'll also see this through the extensive research gone into especially the Terran-driven components of the story, of which there are many.  Over 700 man hours has gone into the research aspect of A Throne of Souls to date, and I'm certain it will approach 1,000 hours before I'm done.

 

Reading this story, can, at times, feel surreal in its immersion into realism then stretching one's belief system into a shared co-creative consciousness of our quantum holographic reality.  It carries with it an ever-present epic sensation that will constantly remind the reader of a big-screen or screenplay adaptation effect.

 

Who is the primary audience for A Throne of Souls?

Anyone who is curious about where we came from and why.  Especially the intellectually curious who are willing to expand their thoughts into paradigms that might test or break their existing paradigms.  It is most especially tailored to those who think "unconventionally" about many subject domains and those who have a healthy libido. 

 

What intellectual genres does A Throne of Souls cover?

• Epic Fantasy

• Science Fiction (hard)

• Speculative Fiction

• Romance

• Military Fiction

• Cerebral Thriller

 

How does A Throne of Souls capture a unique telling of the tale of Creation?

I have had many people ask me a question similar to this...  When I consider most stories that cover the topic of Creation as a central theme in their content, they are mostly religion-driven.  Some are more esoteric in nature—the mother cosmos and such.  This is not anything of that nature at all.  It is largely driven by the Universe as it is—not how we would like it to be to conform to classical laws of nature.  I might be making up scenes and characters and some events, but the behavior of the Universe—as described in this series—will not be 'made up.' I'm going to give it to you in the most unvarnished way I know possible and it's going to annihilate the belief system of most people who read it.  It's going to make you question EVERYTHING you thought you knew as 'certainty.' This series is not for the timid.  It is for the bold truth-seekers that are daring enough to ask the hard questions about what our reality is and is not—those brilliant people who want to be entertained by characters some two-and-a-half decades in the making and guided to profound questions that may challenge your belief system but make you stronger for it.  These are the people who need to read this series.  If you have ever pondered and considered that Creation must be more than what you were told in school or church, you were right!  Keep reading because my fictional tale is going to connect some very big and very real dots for you and I truly believe it will leave you astonished at the end...
