(Book One) Elements: Origins of Power and Ruin

Timeline: 48 ACD – 70 ACD

Taj is desired by too many but seen by almost no one. He’s smart and loves to dance, but he’s trapped—bound by the cartel’s debt and objectified for his beauty. When wealthy Riley fixates on him, things turn dangerous.

Rowan, Taj’s best friend, wants to find her missing mother and escape her troubles. But when Riley’s obsession puts her in the spotlight, she’s dragged into energy politics that will change everything for both of them.

Then there’s Song, the Sect’s Commander, haunted by his past and consumed by revenge. He has no time for feelings until he meets Taj. Their connection grows slowly, carefully, but with Riley’s obsession escalating, time may be the one thing they don’t have.

In a world divided by two types of energy, desire becomes the most dangerous force of all.

(Book Two) Bridges: The New Empire Rises

Timeline: 170 ACD – 177 ACD

Taj should have been dead long ago. Instead, he lingers.

One hundred years after losing everything, Taj’s soul remains trapped in a Crystal device, haunted by memories of Song, the Army Commander he loved and lost. All Taj wants is to die, but he can’t abandon Luna, the last living descendant of Rowan, the best friend who stood by him through everything.

Luna inherited more than Rowan’s red hair. Born as a Dual, someone who possesses both natural Ability and Crystal energy, she’s an anomaly in a world where the two power systems have divided humanity into warring factions. And she inherited Taj’s Crystal device, which everyone is hunting. His memories hold secrets from the early days of energy politics that could shift the current power balance, and his apparent immortality is a prize some will kill to obtain.

When Luna’s arranged engagement to the heir of the Shadows faction forces them into the political spotlight, hiding is no longer an option. As forces close in from all sides, Taj discovers something impossible: Song’s consciousness might not be gone after all.

Can Taj protect Luna while chasing the hope of resurrection? Or will the world tear them apart before he ever gets the chance?

(Book Three) Horizons: The Burning Legacy

Timeline: 180 ACD

So many years of struggle, and now a horizon. Taj and Song’s love story has endured war, death, and memory itself, and finally nears its conclusion.

On Planet Three, a young scientist named Tian does the impossible: he opens the Gate that’s been sealed for years. Everything begins to fall like dominoes. Taj, the New Empire’s haunted soul trapped in energy form, finally has hope. Song’s Crystal device might be there, holding his husband’s consciousness.

But Song wasn’t just Taj’s soulmate. He was a famous Army Commander, a weapon inventor whose creations are still not surpassed. Song’s Crystal itself contains enough power to be weaponized. Now everyone is hunting for it.

To resurrect Song, Taj must reach the device first. But how can he do it without destroying the entire planet? And even if Taj succeeds, one devastating question remains: If Song returns, who will he be?
