About
“A prophecy. A legacy. A city on the edge of war.”
— In Ethos, destiny isn’t inherited… it’s unlocked.
In the shimmering heights of Ethos, a futuristic city soaring above the heart of Africa in the nation of Abyssifar, secrets lie buried beneath a façade of peace. Kellan, a 19-year-old boy grieving the sudden death of his father, finds his life unraveling as he delves into the mysteries of his past. His mother, an aristocrat with an ancient and noble lineage, was murdered shortly after his birth, her love for Kellan’s father a forbidden secret that threatened powerful forces. Now, with both parents lost, Kellan is left with nothing but questions—and an unsettling sense that the truth could tear his world apart.
When the trickster god Anansi appears, Kellan discovers that his bloodline is more than mortal. Dormant powers awaken in him—phasing into living black sand, an unbreakable skin of boron carbide, and a destiny tied to gods of chaos and order. But divine power comes with a cost. The gods are watching. So are assassins in the shadows. And Kellan’s awakening may be the catalyst for a celestial war.
